I found a home made one floating with 1 1/2 PVC pipe shot full of "great stuff" foam but it was still a little bendy for my taste. They put a "T" fitting on one end with short stubs of pipe and caps on them for a foot and cap the top end. The PVC would be enough to see if the idea would work in the weeds before spending time an $$ making or more $$ buying one. Good idea. Perhaps PVC with 1' long wood inserts at 3' intervals to stiffen it. Easy enough to try. Huh, I don't follow... Either way, I am still thinking the crosshatch with glass and resin, think "maypole" type weave along the length, that would stiffen it up nice I would think and be a lot lighter than wood... -- Can you imagine being the first President since President Carter, to be compared to President Carter? Maybe a telescoping pool net pole? Make a foot that uses the same snap in fixture as the net and keep the net on the boat too for fishing, shrimping and ball cap retrieval. I know they are fairly lightweight aluminum but should hold up to less than gorilla propulsion. Great idea if you don't value your time. -- Guns Don't Kill People -- Fundamentalist Religion Kills People! I value my time too much to sit, stuck in the weeds. waiting for the gov't to come and "help". |
