Just For Fun

A boy carrying a brand new five-foot fishing pole is told he can't ride the bus with an object that is more than four feet long. He goes back into the store where he bought the pole and explains his dilemma. The owner of the store gives him something that solves his problem. When the next bus comes, the boy gets a ride with no questions asked. What was the solution? (He has the same pole and it's all in one piece.)
