Title: would it work?
Post by: ant french on November 06, 2010, 09:12:39 pm: ok im trying to go diy and i was wondering if this would work as a pole to put my wagtail on or to maybe use as wfp later on? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BRAND-NEW-3m-%20-TELESCOPIC-LANDING-NET-HANDLE_W0QQitemZ190317013303QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=164218414140&rvr_id=164218414140&cguid=a151bba012b0a47a44c264a2ff6152c3
