Common Concerns Answered
Are these outriggers as rigid as aluminum options for heavy trolling?
While fiberglass offers excellent durability and value, it may not provide the same level of rigidity as aluminum poles for extremely heavy trolling applications. For most trolling scenarios on boats up to 28', these are highly effective.
Is the 1-1/8" diameter sufficient for all fishing applications?
The 1-1/8" O.D. is robust for its class and suitable for a wide range of trolling techniques. If you regularly employ exceptionally heavy lures or target species that exert extreme drag, some users might prefer a larger diameter pole.
How easy is it to store these poles when not in use?
These poles feature a telescoping design that retracts to under 6 feet, making them exceptionally easy to store and manage, especially on boats with limited deck space or during trailering.
