Description
The scoop is only half the tool. The pole decides how the day feels. The CKG Carbon Fiber Handle is the straight, full-length pole CKG builds for its own sand scoops: one 115.5 cm (45.5 in) 3K carbon fiber tube at 375 g (14 oz), so you dig from standing instead of stooping, and the salt never gets a bite of it. If your scoop came with no pole, a heavy pole, or a wooden broomstick conversion, this is the factory-matched fix.
At a glance
The CKG Carbon Fiber Handle is a one-piece 3K carbon fiber pole with a 2 mm wall for CKG sand scoops and digging or raking tools. Length 115.5 cm (45.5 in), weight 375 g (14 oz), outside diameter 28.5 mm (1 1/8 in). Suited to water and surf line use. Colors: Green, Blue, Black, or Red.
Why the full-length handle over the Travel Handle
This pole and the Universal Carbon Fiber Travel Handle share the same 28.5 mm (1 1/8 in) scoop fit; the choice is joint versus no joint. The Travel Handle splits into two click-together sections for packing. This one is a single straight tube: it is the lighter of the two at 375 g (14 oz) versus 420 g (14.8 oz), there is nothing to assemble on the tailgate, and it is the pick when the pole simply lives attached to your scoop between hunts. It is also the only CKG pole offered in four colors, which sounds cosmetic until two hunting partners own identical scoops. Dealer listings for these poles stop at the raw numbers; the practical point they skip is that carbon fiber shrugs off exactly the two things that kill beach poles, salt corrosion and swing weight.

What colors does it come in?
Green, Blue, Black, and Red. All four share the same 3K carbon fiber construction and dimensions.
