Paul, In the fishing stores this is called a "Crappie Pole". It has nothing to do with Sir John Crapper, it is a breed of fish. You can find it in most fishing stores. In Orlando there is a "Bass Pro Shop" which should have them.
Cabella's is the source that I often use but I don't see one listed on Orlando. Now for the other sugestion. My Xyl made a drawstring bag for mine in about five minutes. I put two poles in the bag draw the string closed. There is a luggage tag on both the string and sewn to the bag. I have had no problems traveling with them as checked baggage. 73, Ran - W1IN _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: Elecraft@mailman.qth.net You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
