Does anyone have a suggestion on how to get the bottom pole out, its stuck. The pole lock turns loose but the pole just won't slide out. Any suggestions on how to free it.
Thanks
 
Had similar issue with Sand Shark (same poles, salt water use). I used a penetrating oil in the past but that can ran out and the penetrating oil I have now has warnings about disolving plastics. So three weeks ago, when I needed a little help to get all the pole connections apart to pack it in a suitcase, I went with WD-40. Spray around the spring clips and all the holes that are drilled in the aluminum shaft as well as where the lower plastic shaft slides into the aluminum one. Try putting a phillips head screw driver that is close to the size of the coil bolt through the hole that the coil mounts to and use that for some leverage to try to rotate the shaft and break the bond it has. Put some pressure one direction then the other and if you get any movement then it will start loosening quickly after you get that first break in the corrosion bonding. Doesn't hurt to let the lubricants sit for a while and then spray again and let it sit for a while longer if it doesn't come apart on the first try.

Good luck!

Glad to hear you got it apart!

Now, if you and I took them apart after every hunt, we probably wouldn't have to fight with getting them apart. Odds of me taking it apart after every hunt ... not very high!

I meant to take it apart and clean it every time. Did it once and that was it
