Garelick 55004 Boat Hook, 4-Foot Fixed-Length Aluminum Pole with Poly Head, Silver

The Garelick 55004 is a fixed-length 4-foot boat hook built for everyday docking, mooring, launching, and retrieving tasks around the boat. Its pole is made from high tensile anodized aluminum, which resists corrosion and keeps the hook lightweight while remaining well balanced with maximum strength for pushing off, fending, or snagging a line or float. The hook head is a poly (polymer) piece that is permanently attached to the pole using a unique formed dimple, so it will not work loose or spin under load. At the opposite end, a non-slip vinyl safety grip is permanently attached as the handle, giving a comfortable, secure hold in wet conditions. Because the aluminum construction is lightweight, the hook floats if dropped overboard, reducing the chance of losing it during use. This is a straightforward, fixed-length design (not telescoping), extending a boat operator's reach by 4 feet for routine dockside and mooring tasks. It is finished in silver aluminum and sold as a single complete unit, ready to use without assembly.
