An improvement to a fishing pole is disclosed, the improvement including a flexible segment that separates a resilient rod of the fishing pole into lower and upper portions. Both the upper and lower portions are interconnected through the flexible segment. A rigid retractable sleeve is positionable in either a disengaged position away from the flexible segment or in an engaged position over the flexible segment. In the disengaged position, the sleeve is positioned so that it covers part of the lower section of the rod, but none of the flexible segment, thereby allowing the flexible segment to flex more freely during casting, for example. In its engaged position, however, the sleeve is positioned to cover the flexible segment completely, interconnecting in a rigid fashion the upper portion of the rod to the lower portion of the rod. As Such, the upper portion pivotably fixed with respect to the lower portion, and is thereby made more characteristic of a conventional fishing pole.
