STAR BRITE Extending Boat Hook - Telescoping, Floating, Multi-Purpose - Extends from 4.5 ft. (137 cm) to 8 ft. (243 cm) (040609)

MADE IN THE USA. TOP USA QUALITY! Functions well and truely built to take a lot of stress! This is my second one which I recently purchased… confess that I bought this 2nd as I can’t find where I misplaced my first one that I have been frequently using for over 23 years… used with my boat here in salt water… since selling my boat in 2002, I use it for anything that I need to reach for and pull to me including a lot of tall hedging and oak tree trimming/cleanup work on our acreage… I couldn’t do my extensive artistic landscaping without it… and many Stihl chainsaws, pruners, trimmers, etc…. With all the stress I have pit the original one through over the years I have been amazed it never broke especially as I am very strong and ‘normal’ things break too easily when I push past the limits. I’ll eventually come across my original as I work through the land… when found…. I will give this one to my granddaughter to use on her farm. I rarely write a review… but unlike today’s ‘disposable’ world of Chinese junk… this USA pole is simply built so well that I had to speak up!

Quality is very good, I have one in two different boats. Easy to store.

This item is durable, easy to andjust and light weight.

As stated it’s made to bend, but so far it’s held up. I bought this to help dock the boat while backing into the marina slip and it’s very helpful. I wish the hook was metal though, because it would be more effective when hooking into the wood on the dock slip at my marina. The plastic hook with the ball end won’t dig in to dock wood/concrete floating docks, so you have to be able to snag it onto a dock cleat or edge lip if available which can be tricky if it’s windy and you are trying to control the boat into the slip.

Well worth the price, I’ve needed one for a long time. I use it a lot for many things when we are fishing.

best boat hook out there

This basic tool is a must for docking, especially when it is windy. This product is an exceptional value for the money.; not fancy, but it works fine. It’s also light in weight, and telescopic so it can be stowed out of the way. I recommend it to any boater shopping for a boat hook.

First one came danaged, quickly replaced. Nice size, live the extendable handle

Best purchase ever for our boats - absolutely helps docking especially on windy days! Good quality - better than local store's version. Also helps with bringing up our pontoon expandable ladder which was too heavy to pull up from the water. When the pole is wet, it doesn't always lock in place but not an issue for us - still love it.

Es un muy buen producto, muy firme. Al ser telescopio me imaginaba que en su posición más larga sería más pandeable pero nada de nada. De hecho cuando lo recibí al ver la consistencia pensé que no me habían enviado el modelo flotante y directamente lo tiré a la piscina par probar. Sí flota.

Gancho de buen material pero muy corto, no se extiende lo suficiente

Not a huge issue but.. you know those annoying stickers that don't come off properly and leave that ugly torn paper and adhesive behind? Yah, it has those. Other than that it seems sturdy in hand and the hook end appears to be made of a very durable "aircraft plastic" material. I've had issues with previous telescoping boat hooks (not necessarily this brand). The ability to twist and tighten them appears to deteriorate over time and eventually doesn't hold at all, probably due to salt damage of internal mechanisms. We'll see how this one holds up. Is it worth $50+ dollars? That seems a bit steep. $28 would be a more acceptable value.

Great size, easy to extend, very sturdy.
