cjkramos Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 You could create your own frame set and replace the end caps. should be cheaper than $100. https://www.kitesandfunthings.com/Departments/Kite-Parts.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffclown Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 Skyshark rod can be purchased for around $10. If you don't mind a camo pattern you can get skyshark rods from Kites and Fun Things for as little as $3 each. You willneed to be able to trim them to the standard length.

joshwiles Posted July 12, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 awesome thanks so much I was literally having to make my own from crossbow arrows I picked up at wallyworld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Dowler Posted July 12, 2019 Report Share Posted July 12, 2019 If it is just verts - SkyShark will be plenty good. P400 would be practically indestructible in that position. And you won't need to change any caps. Do you use the Reflex system? A wrap of electrical tape will work, but a nicer option would be to use some shrink wrap. Don't leave the heat in one place for long!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
