since bambo floats u should use some heavy object to hold it down such as lead give the betta some room maybe a gallon of extra space for it to enjoy its home heres a photo i found

If it is just a bamboo pole with no reel (the link posted didnt work) then just tie about 15 feet of 6 lb test line with a bobber 2 ft above a small hook (Depending on the targeted species: trout- size 8 w/ small worm, bluegill- size 8 w/ small worm, bass- size 2 w/ half of a nightcrawler) Just cast or throw it out and wait.

all you really need is a couple eyes and a place to wrap your line. Very simple, and theres nothing funner than cane poleing for bluegills. Fabricate yourself a couple eyes using paperclips, unbend them and reshape them into the eyes, allowing for some of the wire to be used as a "foot" part.Having a helper, hold the eye in the place where you want it,one on the skinny end of the pole, and one about halfway up the length. Using a heavyweight sewing thread, wrap multiple wraps of the thread around the foot part, attaching it to the pole. Make many wraps, then, using CA glue(super glue), the thick or medium thickness type, cover the thread. Do this same thing to the other eye you bent. Be careful not to glue your fingers, or especially your helpers fingers, because you will later need your helper to fillet all those bluegills! On the handle end, drill a couple holes with an 1/8th inch drillbit, and superglue in a couple short lengths of 1/8th inch dowel rod to wrap your string to. Glue in the dowels at a bit of an angle, --------\------/------ so when your line is wrapped it wont slip over the dowels. Put your line around them, and knot it so its held on, and wrap enough line on there so you have plenty for fishing for a long time. So yes, it is pretty simple to build a cane pole, and once you find a good spot for poleing, you will see I was right, its great fun!
