Are you tired of boat flags that rattle and get twisted up? Best flag pole I've ever had ...

I originally got one because they sell 1.5" rail clamps, which nobody else sells.  After using it, I bought three more.  This pole absolutely will not rattle at all.  No more crawling out of bed to secure a noisy flag when the wind kicks up overnight.  And the flag won't get twisted up.  

Ever had a flag pole depart your boat at cruise speed?  That will never happen with this system.  Great for motorcycles too. 

The pictures on the website are lame, but believe me, it's a quality product.  Expensive and worth it.

    Was LaRea's account hacked like Raybo3's?

    Just kidding. Got an explanation or close up pic of how it works? Everything on the website is blurry.

    Yea I’d agree with Rich that is a pretty bad site. Can’t tell what they are selling or how it solves a problem. Good thing they have LR to support marketing….  I was pretty curious as our transom old glory does get a little twisted at times

    Love the concept. Maybe LaRea can post some pics from something with higher resolution than the 2005 flip phone original swiveler used for their website. Was I the only one a bit nervous to click on that web link? Sounded like it could have been a stage name for someone who used to bank a lot of singles.

    I've had the cheapo ones as well that one actually flew over top my windshield at cruising speed.  I said never again!  I'd have to look at the brand that I bought but it wasn't cheap, but I've had it now for, wow, I guess maybe 15 years.  I will say I do get a squeak out of it though when the wind kicks up.  I figure it alerts me.  There are times I'll just tie it up on windy nights.

    Pix as promised.  The flag is held by plastic collars that clamp to the flag with hefty screws.  Also, the pole is a solid stainless steel rod, not hollow.  That means you can tighten the set screw without crushing the pole.  

    (I straightened the top connector ... after taking these pictures!)

    They make ones for bigger flags too. But you have to make sure the pole will fit your flag or burgee.

    Will be interesting to see how that mix of aluminum and SS holds up in a salty environment.

    like it a lot.
    Enjoy 'overbuilt' items. Glad to pay for them.

    Pole needs to fit the hole…. That’s the goal…
