push pole

[WTM]

anybody ever use one or recommend a fairly reasonably priced one? thought about making one but really dont know anything about them, stiffness, etc.

i see some described with an anchor tip, sonis there a bracket that you have to install?

Are you talking about these? They were essential growing up on the Modile Delta for hunting/fishing. I've used them with wooden and bamboo poles, but I think the modern versions have a telescopic aluminum pole.

Dunno how long of one you need but the ones we use duck hunting with the "duck foot" on the end are awesome!
They expand to about 10' i think
Drake or banded maybe is the brand ?

For a bargain, look for one of the pool cleaning telescoping aluminum poles. Add a duck foot and you are good to go.
I had a high dollar carbon fiber pole back when I lived in FL but liked the aluminum one better.

This is what I had for my skiffs down south.

How deep of water? Perhaps you can get away with a short one around 14'...

I made a push pole out of a 10' wooden closet rod I got at Lowes (check that the grain is straight!) and a nose piece from a boat trailer. I drilled out the one end of the nose piece with a hole saw and dremel to put the rod into, then pinned and epoxied it in. Worked great !

no more than 3ft deep of water filled with stumps and lilly pads. my trolling motor takes a beating through that stuff so i figured i could probably push it fairly easy across.

might try the closet rod. i use a piece of closet rod to wrap around my braided line to pull snags.

i have a pool pole and its already bent from dipping leaves out of the pool. probably not stout enough to use as a push rod.

thanks
