I'm looking for info on boathooks.. I've no experience of sailing /
boating
at all - hence that's why I'm in here asking.

I'm looking for a really long - ideally telescopic boat hook.
The purpose for which I want it is related to work - At the site where I
work we have a really deep pit for the surface water outfall. In an
attempt
to stop people needing to go into the pit I'd like to be able to reach
into
the pit - using something like a telescopic boat hook - to retrieve any
debris (EG: plastic bags etc.) that blow into it.
The pit is about 10 metres deep

Can anyone point me in the direction of a UK based supplier of anything
that
might meet my needs...?

Thanks in anticipation..
Simon.

I've never seen a boat hook longer than about nine feet when fully
extended. You may be better off with a grapling hook tied to a rope.

If you're looking for a regular one, go he
