Paintings of people fishing with a "pole" appear in ancient Chinese art, and it was well-known enough to be written about as a treatise by Dame Juliana Berners late in the fifteenth century. At that time, a rod was called an "angle", because of the "angle" it was held to the water - it is from this we get terms like "angling" (fishing), "angleworms", etc. Only a true cane pole is properly called a "fishing pole", the correct term for any other type is a fishing rod.
