New Poles


I just got some new poles from Angus for my V13 II, I've used them once and they worked great. When I went out to use it for the 2nd time while I was setting up I noticed one of the poles was like this...



I was able to use one of my old poles so I still got my session in! But has this happened to anyone? Best way of snaking the inner tubing out of there? Small dole rod or something...

I'm not sure what I'm looking at. Is the spar just disassembled or is it broken on the right?

Disassembled, but it looks like the ferrule that joins the middle and right segment has slipped into the middle segment.

If that's the case then just get a smaller diameter rod or coat hanger and push it out and then super glue one side of it in place.

Correct wolf. And coat hanger! Good call Roc. I was looking all over for a small dole rod or really long screw driver or something haha.
