Description
This is a lightweight adapter designed to slip over the end of a telescopic fishing pole or fiberglass mast. It provides a secure attachment point for an S-Biner, carabiner, or paracord, making it easy to hoist wire antennas like an EFHW (End-Fed Half-Wave) or a Random Wire for portable operations.
UPDATE (6/2/26):
I added a v2 of the model that is a little more robust and quicker to print. I added a flat side so that it doesn't have to be printed vertically. I also increased the length of the cylinder and the hole for better support. There are print profiles for two sizes: a 2.8mm and a 4.8mm. This is what works best with the two top sections of my pole, but you can easily adjust for best fit using the scale tool in your slicer.
