i use a 12 ft. pole, a little long i know but it is what works for me, i made mine, i was able to get ahold of an inch and a quarter inside diameter fiberglass pipe, took a plumb bob, (15 bucks at a local hardware store) take some 150lb braid and attach it to the p.b. use some epoxy to fill the void in the p.b.. run the line through the pipe. take a plumbing T and find a wooden dowl that will fit into the T. drill a hole into the top of the dowl so the braid can thread thru it. glue the p.b. to one end then thread the briad thru the T and tie off to the dowl, glue the t to the pipe and slide the dowl into the t, then rotate the dowl to add tension to the braid then add some epoxy (5 minute works great) let dry then add any addornment you would like. oh i use some of that rhino lining to coat the ends, it helps to make them quieter. the t end makes a great foot for poling around. i will be making a few of these here in the coming months(ie spring boondagle prizes
