I use to just get a metal tube from HOme Depot, put a point on it and drill a hole for a cord. They work great and cost a bit over a buck a piece.

These were like 6 bucks so no wallet breaker and I like the feel of them. Going to play with them before florida, but may just go to the ace in EC and see what I can adapt. Scott

Try to get a metal tube that the rod will fit in snugly cut the rod in two cut a piece of tube 6 to 8 inches long put one rod in the tube half way drill a small hole and put a small screw in it stick the other pole in and drill a hole all the way thrue to place a snap pine in there so you can now take it a part click here to see a snap pin www.montanajacks.com/images/products/fas-0932-516_th.jpg

I use a 6' piece of 3/4" PVC with a "T" on one end and a 45 degree cut on the other. It works fine for me in the Florida sand and muck. And yes, it holds.

I just buy the painters aluminum extension poles. They extend from 4-8 ft. You can buy for about $6-$8 They have a hole at the top to attach a rope. Bill

I have been using the yakstick, its heavy un-like Capts Dicks pole and Hobies Pole I also like that you can drag it on the bottom and use it as a anchor

I use a 5'section of PVC pipe about 2" in diamemter. Cut one end diagonally; drill hole for tether at other end. It also fits into scupper holes for temporary stop in calm waters.

You have 2" scuppers? What are you paddling?

I'm out of town and snowed in deep!! I may have over-estimated the diameter of my stake out pole since it's in the garage and i cannot verify. Could be 1 1/2" I paddle a Malibu Mini-X.
