I was looking in a local diy shop and they had a bundle of about 20 bamboo canes for £2.50 so I think that may be the way forward. Carrying a spare in the boom is definatly a good idea, The only problem I see is sleaving the bamboo over the UJ as the internal diam seems a bit small |

email Phil at SKiff Asia about that one - that is what they are doing with their 29ers so they can singlehand from the wire...(phil"at"skiffasia.com)... |

Some people who used bamboo carryed a spare inside there boom or wherever on the boat cause then if u snaped it, it was easily replaced and it doesnt exactly add weight!

If you're worried about breaking carbon buy a rooster - unsnappable even with 95kg hanging on it over the sharp edge of an rs 300 DECK!

Phil, a friend of mine used bamboo on his 600 - swore by it! as even the little notches added grip, and could take abuse and would snap too quickly. |

Following my experements with plastic tubing on (AquaMarina before I sold her)I am thinking of experimenting with bamboo possibly reinforced with glass strategicaly. I have been looking for a carp net but all the ones I have seen have been two peice even the one that was advertised as "An awesome battle stick for hunting and catching carp" |

I must say that i had sum super sexy carp handels on my cherub, but the rooster ones on my 49er are also rather shibby! They seem to grip better in my paw, or perhaps my new 99p gardening gloves with that added grip help?!!

I love my rooster carbon tiller and extension on the Laser, givs so
much more feel than that alloy ones. I also say it beats the Laser
supplied XD carbon sticks too (just MHO).
Enables me to get the horse lower and use less tension on it. Paul |
