Looking for metal poles for fish house modification

Anybody have any sources as to where a guy might find those collapsible poles for a suitcase style fish house? I am making some modifications to mine and am looking for some. I thought about using conduit but am not that desperate yet. Thanks in advance!

Clam sells them in a couple of different lengths.

Walmart had some for a while, have not looked anywhere else. I ended up buying a couple from clam. I know that they fit, I went to the warehouse in Medina? or close to it.

I looked them up online (just now) and the parts section is currently under construction.

You may be able to give them a call.

I think I paid 15 bucks for a set of two adjustable poles.

Tunrevir, I have a Canvas Craft suitcase style shack. I got an extra pole at the show at River center. If you can wait till 1st week in Dec. You'll be able to get it there. 15 bucks I think I paid. I wanted to do conduit also but the problem is finding the connectors for the ends. I use my extra 1 for the side wall for keeping the canvas back when it's windy. I'd love to see some pics of your house mods if you've got em. Good luck. J.P.

Sorry about getting back late to all who responded but I have been jockeying between family, hunting and fishing. Ran up to Mille Lacs on thursday and fished for four hours hard with a big 0 to show for it then had to get to workand take the kids to daycare the next day. Got out bowhunting a couple nights and that hasn't panned out lately either. Thanks for all of your suggestions! I reallty appreciate it! If anyone else has any ideas, I'd sure welcome them. Gotta get the shack ready early this year as I have procrastinated to long in the past! Thanks again and more suggestions are welcome. By the way does fishouse supply carry anything like that? I looked on the HSOforum and couldn't find anything.

    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
