It is strongly recommended that you use the mast pad eyes which are included with the pole to insure the proper fit with the pole's inboard end fitting and reduce the possibility of damaging the pole or end fitting. Keep it clean by flushing with fresh water after use and before storing.

The Forespar Racing Spinnaker Pole Kit is designed for high performance small sailboats. These poles feature self-latching hard anodized aluminum end fittings which quickly snap onto the spinnaker guy or mast fitting.
Tubing is marine grade anodized, high-strength aluminum alloy.
Release lanyard is Spectron 12. This 7' kit also includes a stainless steel topping lift eye strap and an epoxy kit to allow the pole to be customized to a desired length. Ends are loose so you can cut tubing to desired over-all length and then fasten end fitting with epoxy supplied. Assembly time is less than 10 minutes. A mast pad eye is NOT included with this kit.
