The benefits of telescopic poles is that they retract to a much shorter length making them easy to stow away onboard but also extend to a very good reach of up to 3.3 metres.
All our poles are made from anodised aluminium so they are very robust but also are light weight making them usable by all the family.
Our poles have factory fitted female threaded inserts that make it both easy & secure to attach any of our accessories.
Yes all of our products are available to buy individually as replacements or additions.
Yes our boat hook attachment is made here in England from 100% recycled plastics & is virtually indestructible.
Yes our boat hook has a soft rubber foot for non-slip & non marking push offs on most surfaces.
