I built my own out of "skinny" broom handle and sharpened 1/"4" stainless rod inserted and epoxied. You only have one "prong" but is very light. Dont think I have ever missed a flounder with it. With a skinny one prong, sometimes you will stick a flounder and he will just lay there, dont think he even knows he is supper! LOL

Thanks , I wish I had checked my post before yesterday, I was at academy last night. I need something larger than a broom handle as I flounder from a boat and those fur closet dow rods get too darn heavy after 6 hours of sticking flat fish!!! I am going to make the gig out of 5/16 stainless allthread and wrap the cane pole with a thin coat of fiberglass cloth.

Big stand of cane at McCollum Park just up from Baytown discharge.
