WindRider Telescoping Boat Hook | Floating | Double Grip | Super Strong Hook | Threaded End for Accessories | 8 or 12ft | Push Pole Multipurpose

My worst fear when ordering, was that this would be a thin, cheap boat hook that was barely substantial enough to do the job. When opening the box and pulling it out, however, I was surprised at how thick and solid it feels. It was exactly the opposite from what I feared. The largest tube is about 1-1/4" in diameter, which feels real good in my hand. The foam hand grip partway down from the end, as well as the thicker grip on the end (about 1-1/2"), make for an even even more-substantial feel. Those grips have a nice "grip" to them, and should work well with wet hands.I decided to give the pole a good push/pull test by extending each section partway, tightening them down firmly, and hooking it on a solid surface. It took quite a bit of push or pull to make the tubes slide against their internal friction - more than what would be applied when docking a medium to small boat. Therefore, I think it will hold up well to almost all docking situations.Next, I extended each section to it's full length. As with any extendable pole, the farther out you go, the less tube overlap you'll have, so rigidity is going to suffer a little. The smaller section did get a little less rigid, but it's still stiff enough for grabbing lines or pulling a floating boat over to a dock with a straight pull.The hook end appears to be strong, and it has a softer red cap on the end for added grip on any surface from which you may be pushing. Two rivets hold this hook in place, and they appear to be a nice distance from the end of the small tube (at least 1").Bottom line: This is much more solid and substantial than imagined it would be. WindRider didn't let me down. This is well worth the price.

I was surprised in that it was built better than anticipated. Larger diameter tubing is a big plus. The end allows you to push or pull when getting into trees from my boat to retrieve stuck lures. Paid for itself in the first day of use. Be sure to tighten securely when extending pole. It collapsed on me the first time. After tightening there were no additional issues with it.

Very sturdy and easy to use/extend. My wife uses this primarily to grab a dock line (or anything on land for that matter!) while docking. I also used it with a brush attachment for cleaning the boat but that was short lived - while scrubbing I broke the tip right off and it wasn't even that hard of pressure. Still works for our primary use and I will get a different pole with a metal end for cleaning. UPDATE: Since the tip broke I decided to add a loop. Very easy and cheap and adds a ton of functionality while docking. Just need some 3/16" coated wire rope (I used 4 ft. length), two wire rope clamps, and one or two hose clamps. I added some shrink wrap to make it look nice and clean. That was from Amazon and was 2" diameter 3:1 shrink wrap. Hope others find this useful! UPDATE: One of my sections stopped working (wouldn't tighten) which makes the pole very limited and sort of dangerous if you're relying on it. I contacted customer service and they sent me a new one under warranty. Very happy they stand behind their products!

Very good! I used this to close my plantation shutters that are way up towards my roof in my entry. I underestimated the length i needed, but thankfully this pole was still able to reach. It worked wonderfully and i am very satisfied that my shutters are now closed and that the sun is no longer excessively warming up my house. This pole is pretty lightweight. I could feel a bit of the weight as i as stretching up and poking at the shutters with the end, but it was not making my arm ache. It was kind of difficult to get the rod back to being short after i had it telescoped all the way out, but i suppose that's good because it also didn't close on my while i was using it. All in all, a great buy!

Purchased a set of this product, and the hook broke off of one first time. Found out from the seller that they received a bad batch, and the new batch had been received in its place. They promptly sent 2 new boat hooks, and never missed a beat. Talked to Robert about the situation, and I was very thankful I didn't have to wrestle with him to take both boat hooks back. Now, the product works as advertised. Sturdy and light weight. My wife & I love the product, but the customer service was the best part! Thanks Robert.

Fantastic product at a fantastic price! Plus it floats! This is the reason I was searching for a new boat hook in the first place, mine fell overboard! This boathook is well made and heavy duty! I sail singlehanded a lot and this boat hook really comes in handy when leaving the dock and is more help when I am returning to dock! I love the fact that it floats plus it has a long reach when I am docking I don't have to risk getting too close to the seawall by motoring. I kill the motor early and with the long reach of this great boathook I can easily reach the seawall and pull my s24 ft sailboat in easily and safely! I love it so much I bought two of them for times when I have crew aboard!

I use this hook on every fishing trip, the plastic hook and pole extension pieces are a little fragile, but knowing this and taking care when using the hook, this hook rocks. When or if it breaks I will just purchase another and will still not have spent as much on an expensive boat hook. I fish about 3-4 days a week on local lakes, still no problems with it, I will say its not commercial fishing quality but works on my fishing boat very well and have already recommended it to a few other fishermen at my lakes.

Quality product, I have 2 now, this one and a shorter one. Yes, it's a 5 star.
