I use a rod that identifies as pole.

Grey area well noted.

Rod

"How many rods do you have on the boat"
"Do I need to bring an extra rod?"
"I bought a new rod" as apposed to "i bought a new real"

Rod all the way. Not sure I ever say pole.

[Gumbo Man]

All data will be collected and compiled at 4:00 pm. Thanks for the input.

[Walker]

Cane pole, fishing pole, stripper pole.. all correct

Ok the survey is over and can be deleted if needed. The results are inconclusive and has offered no other info other than we are equally divided.

Results.

19 votes showing strong convictions in using the word pole.
19 votes showing strong convictions in using the word rod
18 votes showing no convictions at all and willing to refer to the same item in several ways showing no consistency or legitimate reason why. Strongly reminds me of a survey done with 10 monkeys for 10 days. They were lead to a table one at a time with a banana and a peach being on the table. Each day each monkey would reach for a different fruit as opposed to the one he picked the day before proving inconsistency and weak decision making skills as is shown in some humans. Thankyou for your participation. This has been a test.

Would fishing pole be a fishing poll?

[djohnson]

It's always "rod" unless it's a fly rod which is usually called "don't ever let mama know what I paid for that, junior"
