Lucky duck extension pole

Has anyone made their own extension pole for Lucky duck motorized decoy?
Think I need to get longer pole than the one that came with the decoy.
Any idea on how to make one?
Thanks.

I just made a 4 ft extension pole out of a curtain t rod I found in the basement. I drilled a hole near the top so it would snap in and sprayed it with bed liner. Works like a charm, even in the high winds we ha today. I hope my wife didn't need that curtain rod.

Camo gorrila tape and any extension pole you like. Works like a charm. Just tape the mounting pole to the extension pole. I've used a 10 foot poplar and it worked great.

What about the other side...where did you find the snap pin mechanism so it clips into the original tubing below? Or did you just push the curtain rod in tight with no pin at all, hoping it doesn't come out by itself when pulling it out of the mud?

I used a 10' 1/2" EMT
Hammer one end so it is pointy
And your done

I hunt with two guys who made extension poles using copper pipe. There was no need to drill anything as the original pole just slide inside the copper pipe. As well, no attempt to camo tape the pipe as the colour is dark enough and rather dull.

I happened to have one length of 1/2" EMT in the garage and tried it, but the EMT and Lucky Duck pipe are about the same diameter. Don't slide into each other.

I just used a broom handle. It slid right over the original pole. Drilled a hole and put a shirt bolt in place to hold it. I has the spiral end out so I just sharpened it to stick in the muck.

3/4 EMT, paint camo. Works like a charm. I carry 5 and 10ft lengths in the boat. No pin.

X2 on 3/4" EMT

X3 on the 3/4" conduit. I put a bolt through the pipe about a foot down. Then I drilled a hole so the button lock from the lucky pole can pop through and lock in place. Originally I didn't do that and on a windy day the Luckys would spin on the pole and face the wrong way.

EMT conduit. Original pole slides in nicely to fit in the car. Cotter pin to adjust length. Beauty.

Dollarama has telescopic painting poles now, hammer one end into a point, paint camo, they work great and are very long.

I used an old telescopic pole from a broken beach umbrella. Works great and it slides nicely together so you're not dealing with a long pole during transport.

Electrical tape and a hockey stick worked pretty good for me last year.

another vote for 3/4" emt, no holes or pins/bolt, just shove the lucky stake into the emt and should be good to go. flatten the end that's going to stick into the mud/ground.

Went and bought 3/4" EMT. It is a bit too big of a diameter so the original LD pole shakes a bit when inserted inside the EMT.So I'll be returning the EMT.
Also bought black broom handle...this one seems to fit best. Drilled a whole and works perfect with the original LD pin too. Will be trying it like that this season and see how it goes. The only thing is the broom handle is thin wall....hope it doesn't bend from the weight of the LD.

I think the broom handle may let you down. The first time you try to really drive that pole in the mud, it could easily break. I'd stick with the 3/4 EMT. I use a thick walled steel pipe. I can use it to pry stuff if I have too. The mojo doesn't have to be tight, its not going anywhere.
