Essential for fly fishing! At 2m, it has a considerable retrieval rate! Also useful for foraging for wild vegetables. ● Maximum length: 200cm ● Closed length: 31cm ● Weight: 104 grams This is an existing telescopic pole with an aluminum hook attached. I made a few extra of these, which I've been using myself, so I'm selling them. It's bonded with strong epoxy resin, and further secured by inserting a triangular bracket through a hole that passes through the tip pipe and the aluminum hook. Non-slip tape is wrapped around the hook to prevent slippage when pulling branches. It's surprisingly durable and lasts about two seasons, but I'm including enough spare tape for two re-applications. * While it has considerable strength, excessive force, including on the main body's joints, can lead to detachment or breakage. ● Other uses: Ceiling spaces, wall gaps, cable catchers, electrical wires, wiring, electrical work, electricians, electrical construction, wire pulling. A lifesaver for solo work. ● Background I've been fly fishing for 35 years. Initially, I attached an S-hook to a rope and threw it to snag branches to retrieve my flies, but it was difficult to get the rope to catch on branches. Next, I used a short, collapsible bait fishing rod for mountain streams, but its closed length was always around 40cm, and if I pulled branches with too much force, the rod would get stuck and wouldn't collapse. So, for the past few years, I've been using a pointer stick like this. I found that I needed at least 2 meters, and this specification is what I settled on.
