My fishing rods are not stiff enough, but lately with the help of a couple of rubber bands I have been using my favorite 68" 63 lbs. @ 28" longbow and a fuzzy duster to get the cobwebs out of the high corners in my house. Most winters there is a path out back for my target, with three feet of snow on my yard there is only a couple of rabbit tracks back there.

Mostly as arrow launching tools, but they've doubled as fishing poles, walking sticks, self defense clubs, canoe paddles, binocular stabilizers, deep water testers, arrow retrievers, things stuck higher in trees that I can reach retrievers, things in the middle of cactus retrievers, armadillo pokers, all kinds of useful things!
