I have a pair of the fiberglas poles. they are cool.
I also have a few bamboo that I let the kids use

they have twisted paperclips and electrictape for guides.

I could never understand the old farts bitching about pollack. I always keep the small harbor pollack too.

head and gut them then fry them in butter yum!!

head and gut the smelt there on the doc before you leave.
rinse them out with seawater and head home. dredge in a 50/50 cornflour/whiteflour, dip in an eggwash(2eg,1/4c milk)
let drip, and dredge a second time.

then fry to a nice crispy light brown in hot corn oil
yum yum yum

(I suddenly got an urge for smelts!!!)
