The AMS Mud Duck Push Pole is made of sturdy octagonal aluminum tubing for more strength and a better grip. It has a sure snap telescopic extension that extends from 5 to 12 feet. The spring loaded foot is always open and will close automatically when pulling it out of the mud or muck. This strong, lightweight, self-cleaning push pole is great for getting in and out of your favorite bowfishing spot and very useful when the water is too shallow to drop your motor.
