hey guys,

i found a new use for my rod wrapping "skills" (& i use the word sparingly )

i'm getting a boat fixed for the flats at santee cooper.  one of the things that i knew i would need was a push pole.  ...but, when i priced those little darlings, i Knew there was something around here that would be cheaper.

i had some curtain rods left over from re-modeling. two of them were about 12 foot long & almost 1" in diameter.  soooo, i took some nylon carpenter's string & wrapped some hand holds & some places along the length to strengthen it & to give it better grip.

i don't see why it won't work..& if it does, it'll save a couple hundred bucks....

don't have my camera in the shop this morning, but, will try to post a pic later.

Oooooohhh the things this rod-wrapping leads to !  Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee  i love it!

Not a bad idea at all.  I'd like to see a pic of that.

Handle tape for a tennis racket works too.  

You don't mind if I borrow that idea from you? I love it.

Hey Ronnie,

Do you have any pictures of this Push Pole yet. I would love to see them.
