===Oxbridge=== The best known form of setting pole is the single-ended [[punt (boat)|punt]] pole used in [[Oxford]] and [[Cambridge]].{{citation needed|date=June 2018}} A setting pole may also be used in [[river]] [[canoeing]] for navigating portions of river where the water is too shallow for a [[paddle]] to create [[thrust]], or where the desired direction of travel is opposite a [[current (stream)|current]] moving fast enough to make paddling inefficient. Setting poles are also useful for fending off drifting logs and negotiating [[sandbar]]s, [[shoal]]s, and rocks.<ref name=Mussulman />
