Fishing pole for underwater use

A fishing pole and line assembly for underwater use comprising:

• a linear, tubular fishing rod member including at least two telescoping sections, the tubular fishing rod member having first and second open ends;
• a linear, tubular handle member including at least two telescoping sections, the tubular handle member having first and second open ends, the handle member's open first end slidably fitting over the second open end of the fishing rod member;
• a reel member attached to the handle member's open second end, the reel member including a reel housing with a reel spool rotatably mounted therein, the reel housing including a cylindrical aperture with the handle member's open second end mounted therein, the reel housing including a line channel in communication with the cylindrical aperture containing the handle member's open second end and with the reel spool;
• a fishing line secured at a first end to the reel spool and passing through the line channel of the reel housing and passing interior the handle member and rod member and extending exterior through the open first end of the rod member, the fishing line having a second end adapted for attachment to a fishing bait;
• and
• a water inlet channel in the reel housing intersecting the line channel therein, the water inlet channel including a one-way valve member allowing water to flow only into the line channel from the water inlet channel.
