This is a telescopic pole with an aluminum hook attached.
I'm selling extras of something I've been making and using myself for a while.
It's bonded with strong epoxy resin, and additionally, a triangular bracket is inserted through a hole that goes through the tip pipe and the aluminum hook for secure fastening.
Non-slip tape is wrapped around the hook to prevent slippage when pulling branches closer.
It's surprisingly durable, lasting about two seasons, but I'm including enough spare tape for two re-applications.
* While it has considerable strength, applying excessive force, including to the main body's joints, can lead to detachment or breakage.
โ Other Uses: Attics, wall cavities, cable catchers, electrical wiring, cable installation, electrical work, electricians, construction, wiring, wire pulling. A lifesaver for solo work.
โ Background
I've been fly fishing for 35 years. Initially, I attached an S-hook to a rope and threw it to snag branches to retrieve my flies, but it was difficult to get the rope to catch on branches. Next, I used a bait fishing rod for mountain streams with a short closed length, but it was always close to 40cm when closed, and if I pulled branches with too much force, the rod would get stuck and wouldn't close.
So, for the past few years, I've been using a pointer stick like this, and I've settled on this specification because I need at least 2 meters.
