[QUOTE="kfa4303, post: 304004, member: 7274"] Hi tx. I use bamboo myself. It's super strong, super light and super cheap (free). Plus, I can always go cut down a new one of any lenght at any time. I even made a set of PVC push pole clips which work like a charm. However, if you can't find and bamboo, you can use the large 1"-1.5" curtain rods from lowes/HD. I've also seen folks use collapsible aluminum pool poles, fiberglass tubing and even PVC. Of course, you can buy fancy carbon fiber poles that you assemble yourself, but they're pretty pricey. Check online for pics of various versions and/or head over to microskiff.com, where you can find lots of other DIY push pole ideas. Here are a few pics of mine. Nothing fancy, but it works like a charm and cost $0. [/QUOTE]
