I made my own with PVC for a stiffener I put wooden dowel inside, for the metal tip i used a 6 inch long 3/4 bolt epoxed inside then i cut the head off at an angle.
Also made my own anchor trolley.
The SOP cost me less than 5 dollars to make.

Added an aluminum tip. Not sure how the paint will hold up. I did test the pole and it works great. It’s 8’ 11/16 UV rated fiberglass. The same stuff used on the $80 poles. And, this one cost me less than $20 to make. Plus, I enjoyed making it. I just might have an extra one if anyone is in need.
Here is a better picture. Just learning the ropes posting pics.
What’s wrong with a piece of bamboo?
Has been working fine for me for over 20 years…
Y’alls too Fancy
Bamboo is no fun. I prefer something that requires power tools.
