This reminds me of using a bamboo pole when I was a kid. I have a 17.5 ft. telescoping Shakespeare pole that I got at LeBaron. It's great for dipping an offering into small pockets in heavy weeds.

Once you hook into something, you essentially have it on the end of a whip. No reeling, just a bit of dancing...with a springy crane. A fish caught in the weeds can come flying back at you. But it's simple and fun.
