This is the standard fishing pole for most players since it is the highest + fishing you can get from a vender, at any level, and is not soulbound.

The Big Iron Fishing Pole can be fished off the shores of Desolace and has +20 fishing: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=6367

A horde-only quest reward has +25: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19022

Lastly, a +35 fishing pole is available for winning the Sunday fishing tournament: http://www.wowhead.com/?item=19970

Comment by rhinoloupe

If you have a spare Fishing Line enchant, you can apply it to this pole for +fishing skill and sell it or send it to an alt! It does NOT become soulbound.

The best fishing pole for a low-level fisher.

Comment by seancwatson

This is stronger than your average fishing pole.

Comment by Samander

TIP: If you pass by a vendor who is selling one of these, pick it up; I have been selling them on the AH for upwards of 5g apiece, which is a decent markup. Won't make you millions, but it'll add up.

Comment by Jaebn

D--> The only fishing pole I use, it is not a 100ser fishing pole, it is quite e%ceptional.

Comment by Asgalon

Some fishing poles in game since patch 1.11.1 with some helpful tips:

■ Nat's Lucky Fishing Pole reward from Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme, Nat Pagle, Angler Extreme for people already completed this quest before the quest trainer for Artisan Fishing was removed in 3.1.0

■ Jeweled Fishing Pole low drop from Bag of Shiny Things (Fishing Quest Daily in Stormwind and Orgrimmar), even a lvl 10 can obtain this item, and Bag of Fishing Treasures (Fishing Quest Daily in Dalaran) you must be lvl 70 and got the Wrath of the Lich King expansion. Also if you catch the Blacktip Shark but you are not the first person who completed it, you gain the bag in Better Luck Next Time.

■ Mastercraft Kalu'ak Fishing Pole can buy from Sairuk (Dragonblight) or Tanaika (Howling Fjord), you must be Exalted with The Kalu'ak, its the best pole with cool model and unique breathing underwater in game, you must have the expansion Wrath of the Lich King if you want this item.

Some itens removed or in database of game but you cant ever got:
■ Crafty's Pole this item appear in database of Lich King expansion, probably in patch 3.2 or 3.3, cannot be obtained in live realms.

■ Blump Family Fishing Pole is no longer available in game because the Gubber Blump disappear on events of cataclysm, so Staats' Fishing Pole and the Johnathan Staats replaced them.

Itens on PTR of Warlords of Draenor expansion:

■Draenic Fishing Pole its a item sold by Nat Pagle from Garrison of Alliance in Shadowmoon Valley, you must unlock him in order to purchase it, counting with the lure it will increase 40 fishing skill.

■Savage Fishing Pole Horde equivalent, but now it will sold in Frostfire Ridge on Garrison of Horde.

■[Ephemeral Fishing Pole has the high fishing skill on the game, however its temporarily in "online time" doenst depend of "character time played", fished from the waters of draenor, even a level low can adquire this item.

Edit (16/09/2014): Added fishing pole itens from the new expansion Warlords of Draenor;
Edit (16/09/2014): Some words are now correctly with english language.

I'm somewhat confused about this now. Did they remove this item from the game? On the previous patch I was playing as my Bloodelf Rogue character and this was picked up quite easily from vendors. Now on the current patch with my Nightelf Druid I've been to a few vendors listed as selling it and no one has a single one for me to purchase!

This doesn't give me any fishing bonus. All the other items do (hats and lures).

Comment by drpimento

Catherine Leland no longer seems to hae this for sale.

Comment by 1134865

This item seems like it cannot be found in major cities.

Comment by 603239

It's a timing issue. The Strong Poles are in limited supply. Listed as "(1)", when available. Not listed when unavailable. Resets after x hours.

Voloren in Darnassus had one the other day. When I went there again later with another toon, he had none.

Nessa Shadowsong at the Darnassus ferry is the same.
