Was getting discusted shopping for outriggers new and used,so i started looking around online and found a few companys worth passing on ,The first was Jackite they make a fiberglass pole for flying kites but its very stiff when not all the way extended (affordable) as well.The other was an antenna company for the hamm operators .They also have 1/8 in wall fiberglass tubing that sleeves together from 2 in. down to3/4. Also very affordable co.s name is Max-Gain I think they are the ones im going to try. Hope it was worth the thread
