Description
A full-length sand scoop pole does not fit in a suitcase. This one does. The CKG Universal Carbon Fiber Travel Handle breaks into two sections, 27 in (69 cm) and 23 in (58 cm), and clicks back together into a full 115 cm (45.2 in) scoop handle at the beach. If you fly to hunt, keep gear in a car trunk, or walk in a long way to your water line, the packable pole is the difference between bringing your scoop and renting your knees for the day.
At a glance
The CKG Universal Carbon Fiber Travel Handle is a two-part 2 mm carbon fiber pole for sand scoops and digging or raking tools. Length 115 cm (45.2 in), weight 420 g (14.8 oz), outside diameter 28.5 mm (1 1/8 in), click assembly system. Suited to water and surf line hunting. Available in Black or Blue.
Why the Travel Handle over the full-length handle
CKG makes two carbon fiber poles and the difference is the joint. The Carbon Fiber Handle for CKG Scoops is one straight 45.5 in (115.5 cm) tube: nothing to assemble, nothing to pack down. This Travel Handle gives up almost nothing in working length and gains a two-part click system that stows in a duffel, a checked bag, or behind a truck seat. Carbon fiber will not corrode in salt water the way an aluminum pole will, and at 420 g (14.8 oz) it takes real weight off every scoop of wet sand. Dealers listing this pole tend to publish the specs and stop; the fit answer they skip is simple: the 28.5 mm (1 1/8 in) diameter is the standard CKG scoop socket size, and the same pole drives digging and raking tools too.

Which CKG handle is right for you?
