Bamboo pole about 12' long, reinforced with bands of Gorilla Tape? Yeah, that Gorilla Tape is expensive stuff, but you can have the pole. I imagine it's waterlogged by now.

may want to post over on FS too. If it's a nice one someone could be out at least a grand for it. That would make me sick if'n it was me.

A LOT OF TIMES THE PUSH POLE IS TIED OFF TO THE POLING PLATFORM WITH A BUNGIE CORD AND DRAGGED AROUND TILL NEEDED. BUNGIE CORD BREAKS OR KNOT COMES UNTIED.

keep it and raffle/auction it off at the Social. Of course this is after you make a reasonable attempt to find the owner.
Hey Chalk....you might want to change your offer to buy new recliner or maybe a nice coffee table for the misses in trade.

I looked it up and it retails for about $1300.00. You guys please pass the word around. I feel bad for whoever lost it , damn thing weighs a ton but it has all the bells and whistles!! I guess as far as bells and whistles go on a push pole.

if it's a stiffy hybrid or guide is should be at least 20 feet long and be lite as feather. I'm affraid that pole wont do you much good on ol'BB. Not too good as a stack out pole. It'll snap like a twig under preasure If it's one of the above I'll give ya 3 bills for it.

Not sure what stack out pole means. It probably weighs 10-15 lbs. I think you'd play hell breaking this one. I used it to push off a bar the other day and it was strong. Im 250 lbs and I was on it with all my weight and it didnt even bend. I havent measured it but it is long.
