I looked at that one, but fear 8’ may not be high enough. Anyone here have any experience with that pole?

We use it and it works great. hook up ratio on the way back went up after we installed it. Keeps the line high enough so there has been less instances tangles during fire drills.

It should put the line up about 15’ over the boat which seems plenty high.

Try this guy…
I have one of his Carbon Fiber center riggers that we just place on a rod holder on the top. Simple!
