Saskatoon poles are the best type, available locally. It's the toughest wood around these parts.
Sandbar willow are second, because they are straight and thin for their length.
Our favourite setup was; a Saskatoon pole 10 feet or so long, 10 to 12 feet of braided chalk line, a foot of Rabbit wire and a Diana spoon.
We would bait that with Frog (preferred) or beaver meat.
Then toss out the line and wait.
Not the most sophisticated method but it was productive back in the day.

Oh man, I have a soft spot for live lining frogs for bass, pike and musky.
If only it were still the 1980's sigh
