Lee's 18.5' Bright Silver Outrigger Poles for 1 3/4" Bases

Lee's 18.5' Bright Silver Outrigger Poles for 1 3/4" Bases deliver the extended reach and stability serious offshore anglers demand. Manufactured by Lee's Tackle under part number AP3718-1 3/4, these outrigger poles extend your trolling spread well beyond the boat's transom, positioning baits and lures in separate water columns to maximize strike opportunities across multiple game fish species. The bright silver finish provides both corrosion resistance and high visibility on the water, critical factors in the salt air environment where outriggers operate.

At 18.5 feet when fully extended, these poles cover substantial lateral distance—a proven specification for deep-sea and coastal trolling applications. The 1 3/4" base diameter ensures secure mounting compatibility with standard Lee's outrigger systems and similar equipment utilizing this bracket size. Constructed to withstand the constant flex and load transfer inherent to outrigger operation, the poles integrate smoothly with pulley systems and line release mechanisms that control bait presentation and hook-set timing. The bright silver anodized finish resists oxidation and salt-induced corrosion far more effectively than uncoated aluminum, extending operational lifespan in harsh marine environments.

These outrigger poles serve commercial and recreational charter operations, private fishing vessels, and tournament anglers targeting tuna, wahoo, marlin, and other pelagic species where multi-line spread geometry directly impacts catch rates. The 15.1-pound weight represents a practical balance—substantial enough to handle rigged baits and line tension without excessive flex, yet manageable for crew deployment and adjustment during active fishing. Replacement or upgrade applications benefit from Lee's reputation for marine-grade hardware engineering and the universal compatibility these poles offer within the wider outrigger tackle ecosystem.
