Default Push pole duck bills

I'm fed up with the flimsy duck bills you get at local sporting goods stores. We replaced 4 at the beginning of the season and all 4 are broken from rust. Is there anyone who makes an aluminum/stainless steel duck bill that will last more than one season? Hunting in salt/brackish waters eats up those cheap duck bills.

Order the aluminum one and have someone weld alum pipe to it. I ordered the pointed cap as well and use mine to stake out my boat when fishing. Best pushpole I have ever owned.

Theres A welding shop in lake Charles, Southside Welding, that makes aluminum push poles. They run about $50. I've had mine for 6 years now. They are about 14' long but he'll custom build to yiur specs.
