✔ 18′ Telescoping Design

Adjustable telescoping construction allows you to extend to a full 18 feet for maximum trolling spread, then retract for easy storage and trailering.

✔ Designed for Sidewinder Mount

Specifically built to integrate with Lee’s Tackle Sidewinder mounting systems for smooth deployment and secure performance.

✔ Offshore-Ready Durability

Built to withstand heavy trolling loads, rough seas, and saltwater exposure.

✔ Improved Line Presentation

Extends your trolling lines farther from the boat to reduce prop wash interference and improve lure/bait spread effectiveness.

Mounting Compatibility

While these are designed for the 1-5/8" Lee's Sidewinder base, if you are switching from aluminum to carbon fiber, verify your current mount's internal diameter. Carbon fiber poles have much less "flex" than aluminum; this translates to better hook sets but puts more direct stress on the mounting base during high-speed trolling.

🛠 Installation & Usage Tips

• Ensure compatibility with your existing Lee’s Sidewinder mount.

• Rinse thoroughly with fresh water after saltwater use.

• Regularly inspect attachment points and rigging hardware.

• Use quality outrigger clips and rigging kits for best performance.
