    call canvas craft in ramsey, I picked some up there a few years back. I don’t think I paid that much for them

    I made a couple extra poles for mine and used conduit. I just cut the conduit with a jig saw so it was slightly smaller than the pipe. Worked good so far.

    joemama,

    Is this what you’re looking for? I picked 6 of these up at 4 Seasons in Red Wing for next to nothing during their Crazy Days Sale. Thought they’d fit my Clam but don’t. Now they’re just collecting dust. PM me if it’s what you’re looking for and let me know how many you need and your address. I’ll drop them in the mail on Monday.

    -Ross

    I think that I saw them last year at Scheels in Sioux Falls. Don’t see them on their website, but might be worth checking if you have one close by.

    I have an entire set of aluminum spacer poles in my recycling pile that came from an old polar sport trap. I measured and the c clips are 3/4″ on those. If anyone can use them, let me know. Free & delivery possible to N. St Paul.
