Fish with a pole? It has added point (9)
I believe the answer is:
pikestaff
'it has added point' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'fish with a pole?' is the wordplay.
'fish' becomes 'pike' (pike is a kind of fish).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'a pole?' becomes 'staff' ().
'pike'+'staff'='PIKESTAFF'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for pikestaff that I've seen before include "Shaft, proverbially plain" , "it's plain, one says" , "comparatively plain" , "Mediaeval lance" , "Walking stick" .)
