Ive seen a lot of people talk about them and how they want one, and I’ve seen a few in person as well. What are the benefits of one over a standard stiffy/carbon marine fork? I understand it’s a very hard wood so it probably won’t break or wear down over time like a plastic one would but is that really the only plus side to them? This is an honest inquiry lol, just can’t imagine paying top dollar for a stiffy/carbon marine pushpole only to cut it and put a guava fork on it.

Im sure there will be a number of answers but in my experience it is much quieter than a plastic foot on very hard bottom/rock/coral.

It’s so you can get like 59 likes on instabook and use hash tags like #thanksflip and #oldschool, and then hop on your bow mount troller and ride off to the sandbar.

Yup pretty much an old school thing. Take it back further. Carve a dugout canoe and use a branch for a pole. Apply some face paint and you will be one bad ass old school fisherman.

I believe his buddy sells them for $80 shipped, too much for me.

They are quieter when poling over hard bottom so you don’t spook fish. He also carved guava fan blades for his air boat so it doesn’t spook any fish when he runs over them. Just flip a 180 and make a cast...

I do have an old wooden push pole that someone was trying to pass off as a closet rod, in Home Depot. But that's just because I refuse to buy a push pole that costs more than the boat it's pushing.

That's less than you would pay carbon marine to mail you a plastic one.

You don't need to take a trip into the everglades. Just cut a branch off your wife's lagerstroemia. The common crapemyrtle.

Flip makes them with a flint knife that he knapped from a piece of the rubble of the old Orange Bowl. So they have to be the best.

Hand built stuff is cool and has character, so I totally get it.

I think it's cool, but wouldn't cut a functional foot off my push pole to have it. If I were repairing a push pole and needed a foot though, I'd seriously consider making one.

Soon we will be seeing had carved guava steering wheels to match.
