You can buy some real nice ones, made out of fiberglass.
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...

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.

I value my time too much to sit, stuck in the weeds. waiting for the gov't
to come and "help".
