Lee's 18' Telescoping Carbon Fiber Outrigger Poles f/Sidewinder Mount

Lee's 18' Telescoping Carbon Fiber Outrigger Poles for Sidewinder Mount represent a proven solution for serious anglers and commercial fishing operations requiring lightweight yet robust outrigger deployment. Purpose-built for trolling applications where weight distribution and extended reach are critical, these poles eliminate the fatigue and structural limitations inherent to traditional aluminum outriggers. Whether you're running a charter operation, offshore tournament fishing, or high-volume commercial deployment, the engineering in this 18-foot system directly addresses the real-world demand for reduced weight without compromising rigidity under load.

The advanced carbon composite construction delivers substantially higher strength-to-weight ratio than conventional aluminum poles, allowing operators to extend coverage and manage multiple lines with reduced deck fatigue and improved boat balance. Carbon fiber's inherent damping properties reduce vibration transmission to the hull, minimizing noise that can spook game fish—a measurable advantage in competitive and commercial environments. The telescoping design enables compact stowage while maintaining full 18-foot working length when deployed, and the Sidewinder Mount compatibility ensures hassle-free integration with existing rigging systems. At 10 lbs per pole, the weight savings over aluminum equivalents directly translates to faster pole deployment, easier manual adjustment, and reduced structural stress on mounting brackets during extended trolling operations.

These outrigger poles perform optimally aboard vessels ranging from 25-foot center consoles to 60+ foot commercial trawlers, where the combination of reach and weight control becomes operationally essential. Users benefit from extended trolling spread capability while maintaining single-operator control—critical for charter captains maximizing line coverage per boat and crew. The Sidewinder Mount specification ensures compatibility with industry-standard rigging, and the carbon fiber construction resists saltwater corrosion better than aluminum, extending service life in harsh marine environments. Installation requires standard outrigger mounting hardware; verify your existing Sidewinder bracket compatibility before purchase.
