Thanks. This is a lot of help. I was finding mostly boat poles for hooking lines off a dock while mooring.
The high-end, $175 outfits look really nice, but this is an idea in the testing phase, so I think Stan's suggestion will work well enough. Wish it was a couple feet longer, but I really don't know what I need at this point. Some summer scouting trips will tell me a lot more.
I did find some duck-foot accessories for other poles sold separately. Stan, if you could get me an ID on the South End of that pole I might be able to see if I can make one of these feet attach.
Surfing Ebay is a good idea.
Thanks again.
