Works for me.


I'm in FL all the time. I could throw a few in my truck and drop them off next time I pass thru.


I guess you could PM me your address

The short story is my sister-in-law salvaged these from the dumpster at the school where she works. These poles and bags were part of a screen/display system and the screens crapped out so they were being pitched.

I have about 10 of these poles and 6 bags that I decided to share with my BWCA.com friends. I've used these to support my Nemo Bugout 9-screen tent and my nylon tarps while camping. The poles are not perfect for the job but they work.

The poles are shock-corded two-piece that extend out to 86" total. They are about 34" collapse down to 34" so they will not fit in your canoe pack but they strap under your canoe yoke and thwarts. They are about 1/2" in diameter.

I will offer two of these poles to anyone who wants to stop by my place on Fawn Lake near Stacy, MN. My place is about 3 miles off of I-35 at the Stacy exit north of Saint Paul.

The bags are zippered padded nylon that could be used for short paddles or your fishing poles. They are 48" by 10" so your paddle will have to be pretty short or stick out a bit. Same deal on these bags. Free for local pick up.

Local pickup only, I'm not shipping anything.

Canoe on,

UPBoy

Hey UPBoy,

I’m interested in a pole and a bag if you still have them. I’m in Forest Lake and could swing by whenever is convenient for you. No rush, maybe after the holiday season if that works better for you.

Thanks,

Tony
