I'm pretty sure you can find these fishing poles other places. Today, we discover and explore them being used as a pole to hoist up a sloper configuration end fed.

I found the "Miracle grow super steel garden stake" fits inside perfectly. They are 6 feet long, tubular steel with plastic covering. I use a 2 foot section, push 1 foot in the ground, and slide the pole on the other foot. I left it up in 40+ mph winds for a day, and it stayed up great.
I've also been waiting on a Carbon 6 for months, so this video is hugely appreciated. Will definitely check out the Goture.
Great idea. I use a tiki torch stake for backpacking. Very light aluminum with a thumb screw to tighten down any diameter pole, whether a fishing rod or Carbon 6 mast.
I kind of like that idea. I may get a pack of those to test them out. They look a lot less like a prison shank (in case I get pulled over or something). Thanks for the input!
After leaving one of my poles on a summit, looking for a replacement...and nice to see this Amazon one as an option! 73
Very useful vid!
Terrifying amount of whipping it out though! 🤣
Oh yeah, I need to watch my choice of words. :)
Nicely done!
I appreciate it, thank you!
@@HAMRADIODUDE a lot more convenient than the bronzed steel 33’ telescoping whip I used to drag up through the conning tower to the bridge at sea!!!
Very nice. I am looking for a portable pole for maybe POTA and this gives me some ideas. You are very clear to me and I will keep watching this channel for more content. 73 de KI5HXM
I really appreciate that. I do my best to make things easy for everyone to understand. Let me know if you come up with any other cool ideas or find a pole you enjoy. So far, I have brought this out a few times and it's done a real good job. One thing I did: I used the smaller off yellow tubing and placed some heat shrink around it, then taped it. I did this after I let the epoxy fill up inside the tube. It looks a lot cleaner and seems to grip the inside of the pole a little better. Thanks again!
Looking good will be checking it out 73 Dude
Thanks Paul! I hope you enjoy!
Thanks, really useful. 73.
I missed this during hunting season, thanks for pointing it out to me DUDE! Spike nails are dirt cheap and will do what you are doing there.
Hey, no worries. I the k8mrd has a few videos on similar stuff. I can't wait for warmer weather so I can get to outdoor recording again
Good short video. Always good to have another option with more available components, especially in the current supply chain situation. The off white pipe looks like CPVC which is used for hot water whereas PVC is only rated for cold water. Electrical tape is good, or 3d print some adapters. I made some similar adapters for the larger telescoping poles with a trailer hitch and some all-thread layered with PVC and tape for quick stationary vehicular deployment (before I had a 3d printer). Lots of useful ideas. :) 73 de w6akb.
You are correct Alan! CPVC! I have this cool 3d printed "connector" or "Separator" designed. Hopefully if I get a few moments, I can go test it out, but it's super simple and prints in about 35 minutes. I'll be happy to share it when I confirm it's working. This is my favorite part of the hobby. Finding things that will work, and designing others that will make those things work better.
Nice video. I have been using this pole for a 2m/70cm roll up slim jim (ladder line) antenna and RG8X coax for over a year. Super easy to carry and deploy as shown.
I think that I may get a slim jim (or build) ladder line antenna for just that. Thanks for the input. Glad it is working well for you!
This is exactly what I need for POTA. Thank you.
My pleasure. Another good one that I've had success with lately is the South bend kwikstik. 17 ft and it appears to be better build quality with a tad more rigidity
@@HAMRADIODUDE I actually searched for that one a few days ago and could not find it in stock anywhere.
@@potaactivator this is an affiliate link, but this is the one I have, the only thing I would recommend is not opening it by sitting it out like a fishing pole as the sections tend to get stuck together. amzn.to/3KIPXNk
If I can get my garage finished cleaned before I leave Tuesday, I'll try to make a quick video comparing about several different crappie poles
You need to measure your poke when it's assembled. They get their measurements by adding the total length of each piece and giving you the sum. When I got my rod, it measured 18'6. They don't factor in the length lost length of each piece when a little of each piece is inside the last one.
By the time I removed the top two pieces it was under 14'.
Thank you
Those poles work great for building a Moxon like Chuck has. ;) Did you try using end caps on the 1/2 pipe? I have many Carbon Fiber masts and if you run a wire buy it or coax down it, no issue. I have used ladder line next to it at 3" out from the pole with no issue.
Hmm, I did not try the end cap, but that is worth a shot! Thanks Don! As for the moxon, I love what he did. We had the Moxon up and operational within 10 minutes, I would say. Nice poles to have around.
Any reason you couldn't attach the pole to a tripod with something like a "CAMVATE Super Clamp Articulated Mini Ball Head with 1/4"-20 Thread Hole" and stake/weigh the tripod down to get things just a little higher since your not using the end lengths?
I'm on the third floor apartment when the landlord won't let me throw a wire to a tree so I got one of these with the idea of putting my 66 ft of wire through the end of it and stick it out the window so it's away from the house and hanging straight down with the wire coming in down the pole into my radio and when I'm done playing radio I'll just pull it back in
Is that a Knight Kit Star Roamer in the background? I'm jealous.
I got it at a church rummage sale for a buck or two :) Thanks!
I literally got my SOTAbeams 6M carbon last week and ordered it less than 2 weeks before that
Where from
DX engineering is showing out until December
That off colored pipe is called CPVC.
Thank you!
The link for this pole has multiple colors for different prices. Is there any difference in the strength or are they all same? This radio hobby isn't cheap and I'd like to save when I can
So many innuendos possible but I will refrain. Lol
I was just looking at these fishing poles on amazon. Great video! Would these work with a slim jim (N9TAX) antenna or would they cause interference?
That's a great question. The potential is there as it is Carbon Fiber. i guess I could make one, but it would be a few weeks.
@@HAMRADIODUDE I'd love to see that video if you can do it! Kudos for the channel
You can get a signal through but there is some interference.
I have the same pole. The upper lip of the bottom section got a little damaged from rubbing on a support. Kind of jagged in spots. Is that normal from use? Or should I stop using it to prevent from getting cut on it?
Can't say that happened with mine. Is electrical tape a solution or is it on the edge of a section
@@HAMRADIODUDE it's on the edge. I layered blue painter's tape on the edge and it seems to still work. But cover those rough edges that can cut.
It looks like that rod might fit in a spiral fishing rod holder, Walmart sells the Ozark Trail rod holders for less than 3 bucks. What's the diameter of that rod at the base? I measured the inside diameter of the rodholder with calipers and they are about 31mm.
Off hand I don't know the diameter, but it does fit in the orange fishing pole holders from Walmart
@@HAMRADIODUDE Thanks for the response. That's what I have, the orange sturdy rod holders. It looks like I might have to buy the rod and give it a shot.
If you have a few days/week, I'm working on an update video / comparison
@@HAMRADIODUDE Perfect, thanks
What's the name of the camera bag?
Good day! It is a bag for my bicycle: pedegoelectricbikes.com/product/pedego-trunk-bag/. Have a good one!
Just fyi, kickbacks are illegal in the eyes of the IRS but affiliate links or online review compensation is legit.........
I'm not sure I understand what you're trying to tell me here..nor if it has anything to do with more or rather how how the system works? Thanks
second
Thanks for watching. Wishing you the beset, Kristyanna
Do you still recommend this ?
I like this one. Have a good one ua-cam.com/video/Sp7HUN3e-Ak/v-deo.html
Harbor fright
Dude, I was scanning the tube on antennas and this one popped up ua-cam.com/video/wVu8892xFk0/v-deo.html I watched it ant was on pins and needles through most of it. Your video also popped up so here I am. I watch and give thumbs up but as a rule don't comment. Now I will finish watching your video. lol
