JIF Marine DUB2 Telescoping Boat Hook, 40-91 Inch Adjustable Ribbed Aluminum Pole
The JIF Marine DUB2 is a telescoping boat hook built to extend your reach for docking, retrieving gear, or fending off a dock or piling without scratching your boat's finish. The pole retracts to 40 inches for easy storage and extends to a full 91 inches when you need extra reach, making it adjustable to the task at hand. The shaft is made from ribbed aluminum, a design that adds rigidity and strength along its length so the pole resists bending under load while staying lightweight enough to handle with one hand. At the working end is a high-impact molded hook, shaped to snag lines, fenders, or cleats securely. The hook's molded construction is designed specifically so it will not mar your boat's gelcoat or hull surfaces during use. The DUB2 also floats, so if it goes overboard it stays on the surface instead of sinking, giving you a chance to recover it. This is a universal boating accessory suited to a wide range of boats and does not require matching to a specific engine or hull model. It is a practical addition to any onboard tool kit for routine docking and retrieval tasks.
