It's a wood fishing pole, just a stick and the hole in his grip where you should be able to place the pole is a joke. The extremely shallow and not angled hole will not hold the wooden stick and is not angled at all. I have gorilla glued the stick, we'll see how long it lasts. The stick is not going to last outside for more than a summer anyway. Had I known it was a stick and how the hole would be I would not have ordered it.
