Wooden dowels make for convenient wand poles. 48" dowels are frequently used but are not long enough for large tri-string loops. For large loops, people often use telescoping fishing poles. However, it is possible to rig pole extenders for dowels to create long handles. This page documents a few inexpensive ways to create long poles by allowing one 48" dowel to be extended with another dowel. These can be put together and taken apart in the field.

This page documents a few inexpensive ways to create long poles by allowing one 48" dowel to be extended with another dowel. These can be put together and taken apart in the field. My 8' pole setup weighs only 120 grams vs over 250 grams for my telescoping fishing pole. I use 3/8" poplar dowels. Thicker dowels are heavier. Dowel weight is determined by the type of wood. Wood Type and Weight. In Northern California, where I live, the most common type of inexpensive dowel is poplar. Poplar is light and strong. I have used segmented poles up to 12' long. Other types of wood may be quite a bit heavier. My 12' pole has a lot of flex when a heavy loop is attached. For the bottom portion of the pole, a thicker dowel would be needed to use heavyweight loops.
