For things like that a fibreglass fishing rods work even better. I think that Home Depot has those. Like this: http://www.homedepot.com/p/Klein-Tools-12-ft-Splinter-Guard-Fish-Rod-Set-56312/204178241
Btw. they are $35 in the US and $61 in Canada.

The boom is crowded inside. Two reeflines and the outhaul? My outhaul has a block and tackle purchase inside the boom, so I would start with the reef lines. What I would do: Untie only one reefline at a time from the outboard end of the boom, make the others tight so they lift off the bottom of the inside of the boom, then pull the untied line from the gooseneck end of the boom all the way out. Push the fish in through the outboard end of the boom and keep it on the bottom free of other lines. Tape the free end of line to the end of the fish and pull back through to the boom end. Reeve it properly through the sheave and figure eight knot it and pull tight from the other end. Do the other reefline, same method, and your tangle may be solved. Hopefully the outhaul will not be tangled. Good luck.

Have replaced all the wire/rope halyards with rope, in the process of replacing the running backs and checkstays with amsteel. Have replaced the mainsheet system with a 6/1 cleated at the traveller rather than the secondaries. Took the sails off today for winter and got a good look at things. Putting Delrin washers on the vang and gooseneck (Idea I got here). Now noticed outhaul and second reef lines cross on the way up to the boom and again inside the boom. Cannot figure out how to re do them without taking the boom apart? Any ideas on how to re-string lines inside the boom without tangling them or dismantling the boom ends? Rex & Jennifer Delay www.
