[InHam] Fishing Poles

[Brian Murrey]

I'll try it again....

Totally collapsed, it is 46 inches tall.

The diameter of the bottom section is about 1 3/8 inches.

The diameter of the tip is about 1/8 inch. The end tip is made of metal, and
is about 1/2 inch long with a metal loop on the end.

Basically, it's your basic Crappie pole.

Creekside Brand - Model CST-20 (20' 0"/ Medium Light Action/ 6 section/ Line
Test 6-12 lb)

The sections lock together by good old friction.

A great deal for a 20 foot pole...at $13 each I bought four of them.

A halfwave 20m dipole is about 16.5 feet on each side...so 50 feet of zip cord
would make a decent 20m dipole and feed line...you'll need a balun/tuner most
likely.

I have worked over 1000 miles on my fishing pole dipole and 3w from my KX1.
