This is a pretty good article about poke poling.   

http://www.finefishing.com/1saltfish/california/pokepole.htm

Basically you use a wire hanger as your main leader at the end of your poke pole.  This helps get the hook into nice little holes where the fish are.  Basic setup... a long pole (bamboo, old fishing rod, etc..), lash a wire hanger to the end of the pole about 8" - 16" long, make  a loop at the end of the wire and attach a no 2 hook with bait.
