November 23, 2013 at 5:30 pm #1366153call canvas craft in ramsey, I picked some up there a few years back. I don’t think I paid that much for them
tight-linesPosts: 65November 23, 2013 at 8:48 pm #1366179I 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.

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.

November 24, 2013 at 8:02 am #1366219those are what clam is selling for $15 each i’m looking for “c” clips better to collect dust in your garage than mine..thanks for the thought..did you find any that fit ? and where ?
November 24, 2013 at 8:22 am #1366223I 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.

Nothing ever wrong with being helpful! Welcome.______________InactiveMN - 55082Posts: 1644November 25, 2013 at 8:13 am #1366441I 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.
November 28, 2013 at 6:22 pm #1367326i’ll take all of them p.m. me and i’ll get the details from you
