I am looking for a suitable pole for moving a small aluminum boat across shallow, soft, cattail marshes with channels too narrow for rowing. Is there someone that makes such things? Something that breaks down or telescopes would be ideal. I could make something but I'm hoping something is made specifically for this that would be better than building a take down pole from wooden coat closet rods or stair railing dowels. I have a motor but would prefer not to use it for half a dozen reasons.
Evidently they have stopped selling it with the paddle and the duck-bill ends, that snapped on and off. But, it looks like the exact same telescoping pole.
If you're interested I could take some pics of mine tomorrow. It has served me faithfully for nearly 15 years, with zero problems. You might could find one with the two attachments on Amazon or eBay.
Thanks. This is a lot of help. I was finding mostly boat poles for hooking lines off a dock while mooring.
The high-end, $175 outfits look really nice, but this is an idea in the testing phase, so I think Stan's suggestion will work well enough. Wish it was a couple feet longer, but I really don't know what I need at this point. Some summer scouting trips will tell me a lot more.
I did find some duck-foot accessories for other poles sold separately. Stan, if you could get me an ID on the South End of that pole I might be able to see if I can make one of these feet attach.
Brent, I'll get a couple of the pics of the snap on ends, tomorrow, for you. The "duck-bill" spring loaded end is made especially for poling in places with a soft, mucky bottom. It works well, IMO. Worth looking for. I'll also look closely to see if there is a brand name on it.
