Post subject:  Push pole add-ons

Any thought to creating / selling Hobie parts to convert the standard issue paddle to a push pole? I have a PA 14 with the paddle and paddle handle attachment. What I would be interested in is a longer, straight paddle shaft section with a push pole foot attachment. With a few clicks, I could turn the paddle into a decent push pole for sight fishing the shallows...

Yes, I could buy a stake out pole with a push pole foot or just use the paddle (which I do) but these accessories would be easy for Hobie to manufacture and be very useful for those of us that need to maneuver around the shallow stuff.

You are absolutely are right. I use need my Pro Angler paddle more as a push pole in the tidal
bays on the Potomac River when i am looking for snakeheads. I other capabilities that I need of my paddle are: A lure retrieval attachment when rattletraps catch the wind and end up in trees overhanging river banks, same item to un-snag lures when the hook tree branches under the water, and also something to recover decoys when I use my kayak as a duck hunting platform.
