How does a fiberglass pole hold that much weight without breaking?
It is important to know you should not use the bracket to stop your boats momentum. The theory is simple. With my system, you should have your push pole out moving into your spot quietly. You will simply use your pole to stop the boat, and then put it in the bracket and push it into the sandy, muddy, or grassy bottom. This is the same principle that the Power-Pole uses. There are a variety of push poles and flats/bay boats on the market. You need to test the capabilities of both.
