Lee's 16' Extra Strong Poles Bright Silver Sidewinder Only

The Lee's 16' Extra Strong Poles Bright Silver Sidewinder outrigger pole delivers professional-grade rigidity and corrosion resistance for serious offshore and saltwater fishing operations. Built by Lee's Tackle with a stepped-tube construction and bright silver finish accented by a black spike, this 16-foot pole is engineered to handle extended trolling sessions and demanding marine environments where standard aluminum outriggers fall short.

Weighing 13 pounds and featuring a tapered profile, the SX3916XS pole reduces windage and vibration while maintaining the structural integrity required for heavy-duty applications. The stepped-tube design allows for precise load distribution across the full length of the pole, critical when deploying multiple rigs or running high-drag presentations in rough sea conditions. The bright silver finish provides excellent visibility during deployment and retrieval, while the corrosion-resistant coating withstands repeated exposure to salt spray, UV radiation, and washing cycles that degrade standard anodized aluminum over time.

This pole is purpose-built for commercial and serious recreational charter operations where durability directly affects uptime and catch rates. The 16-foot reach extends coverage across larger vessel beam widths, enabling broader spread patterns that increase strike opportunities. The Sidewinder designation reflects Lee's proven design for smooth deployment and retrieval mechanics, reducing operator fatigue during full-day missions and minimizing the mechanical wear that causes premature failure in competitive fishing environments.

Lee's Tackle outrigger poles are recognized throughout the charter and tournament fishing community for consistent performance in saltwater conditions. The extra-strong rating indicates higher load capacity and deflection resistance compared to standard poles, making this model suitable for both live-bait and artificial presentations that demand precise depth control and lateral spacing. Replacement of a single pole is often more cost-effective than repainting or restoring an entire outrigger system compromised by corrosion or structural fatigue.
