Mice! Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Will drain rods not do it or are they too heavy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamekeeper1960 Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Hi mice you've obviously never tried holding drain rods straight up in the air 😂 And hi misser I use an old home base CB aerial. .works a treat and not over heavy. .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Centrepin Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 I've always wondered if fishing poles would work. You can get some bargain 10 or 12m poles. I picked up a 10m for £3 with a damaged tip, cut it right back and use it as a drain pipe with a bit of flexy pipe in the garage/workshop when hand washing. Never lofted, so never tried my theory.

Why not sound like brilliant idea ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenholland Posted April 18, 2020 Report Share Posted April 18, 2020 as said, just go to the cheque exchange buy and sell type places fishing section usually pick up a pole cheap as chips, that's all I use , works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldypigeonpopper Posted April 19, 2020 Report Share Posted April 19, 2020 hello, Telescopic flag poles are stronger than fishing ones, a 10 mtr should do, something like the sotapole, 32 ft but i would scrap the top section, then make a hook from a wire coat hanger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
