The buckle on my straps are both broken and though i have valiantly tried to duct tape them, after a few years of abuse they are unsalvagable. I have a nasty habit of letting go of my poles when i crash and postholing trough steep and deep to retrieve lots poles sucks.


So, does anyone do DIY or custom straps? Ideas? Pictures?

My poles came with super sturdy straps, adjusted by velcro and a metal ring, soooo...



Buy better poles.

Pole straps a really a hit and miss. You can get the latest flexible nano-tech neoprene velcro straps or you can go for the more traditional option. Now you may ask, what is this godly traditional option you speak of? Well, to begin with I feed my younger brother a diet of chicken mcnuggers injected with a highly concentrated race horse growth hormone 12 times a day. This stimulates hair fondolicales in his skin and promotes the growth of a thick shiny coat of hair sprouting from his body. I continue this diet until a length of 6 inches is obtained with his body hair. I then Harvest this 'crop' and plat a rope made of this biological composite materiel. I then staple this rope to my sick new line poles.
My advice would be to buy some Full Tilts.
