looking to find a net pole with extension

[FLXTroutman]

I have a nice net but just looking for a pole and extension, I had 3 nets and I have I just cobbled 1 into with 2 extensions, looking for aluminum poles just not sure where to look. Any body got an idea?

Alright this may sound cheap but I just made a net extension out of a smaller gauge aluminum fly rod storage tube. I inherited a nicely sized salmon net with a broken-off handle. Works alright for walleye but I needed reach for a first trip to Olcott this weekend.

Before I spent $ I found the fly rod tube in the garage. It is about 1 1/4 or so inch inside diameter. The hexagonal net handle slid fairly tightly into the tube...a surface of duct tape on the broken net handle made a tight but removable fit.

Now I have a 9' net handle...before I was at 5' with a pokity-stabbity broken end.

Might not be your fix but perhaps someone else has a net like this in their garage...

Can't wait for Olcott.

I used an old adjustable pole for the swimming pool vaccum (sp) and skimmer. I believe the smaller one extends to about 10 feet and is for about $12.
