A boat hook to me is a purpose built plastic head (about 1quid) fitted to a broom handle. It floats and I don't weep if it is lost. olewill

Fair comment but when you just must have something then only the best will do. How else do women survive

I tend to get a lot of reed building up on Hanser's mooring -takes ages to shift with the puny extendable boat hook. I've looked around for a good strong boat hook and found not a lot.
Eventually, I made one myself - 30 mm dowel, 'deep sea' gaffe hook( ebay) and a bit of ss welding courtesy of my son. Total cost about £15. The gaffe hook has a 22inch shank that can unscrew from the pole fitting that makes stowing easier. Oh and I ground down the point!

I bought one of these last year

Exe Buoy Hook

Far better than those extendable ones with a plastic hook on the end.
