Need a push pole

I need to purchase a push pole at least 16' long or longer. I am not looking for fancy, lightweight, carbon fiber poles that cost a fortune. The Skinny Water products one or something similar will be just fine. After several years of bouncing off rocks, fending off gators and snakes, then wedging it in my trailer frame to straighten it back out, my old one has given up the ghost.

Please let me know if you have one available.
