The current air poles are modified fishing poles. I can get the link tomorrow if you would like. I have a few, just do not remember where I got them ha.Coltini wrote: Mon Feb 03, 2025 12:43 pm I did find this: https://www.ridertack.com/racing-rod-wh ... yEfkQ5CCb6

They’re actually boat “antennas.” The smaller wiper air poles could be fishing poles for the smaller venues, but the main ones they used on both albums and tours was modified Antennas. I remember asking the stage props crew back in the day what they used, solid white and painted neon orange or left white and sprayed with UV paint for the Complex Tour.MSTG1010 wrote: Mon Feb 03, 2025 10:32 pmThe current air poles are modified fishing poles.
