Twist-lock poles with double latch ends telescope to the desired length, and are a good choice for boats to 25'.
These heavy-duty telescoping poles lock in position with an effortless twist of the inner tube, and feature self-latching fittings on both ends. Heavy-duty two-section and three-section aluminum spars can be extended to lengths up to 15' and securely lock in position by an internal twist lock device. Poles feature self-latching Ultra Series UXP fittings. See the selection chart below for pole lengths and tube sizes.
