Below are pictures of some of the catch poles that I have used. The only one that was purchased is the one nearest the tape measurer.







A clothes line tensioner available from AMAZON and others is good for the top end of catch pole> https://www.amazon.com/Household-Es...&hvtargid=pla-497931480672&psc=1

Wives always do that when you are buying new gear, but when you bring home that first big fur check; she will change her tune and prolly chase you around the house all night.


Maybe next year.

A buddy of mine made me one out of PVC, coated cable and some sort of clothes lines catch on the handle end. Does anyone know what this piece is? It works pretty good. Probably on YouTube somewhere.

ace also has them they call them a cloths line tnesioner

if your trying to use it as a death-ray the tensioner holds animals ok but you need to be a brute to pull it tight enough to get death ray results

this is why the death ray is such a good tool because it gives one handed mechanical advantage

Plastic coated Dog tie out Cable .
PVC cap one end and PVC coupler to accept the tensioner on other end .
Added a clothesline tensioner to the handle end.
Tensioner like this one = .

I’ll leave the tech stuff to the engineers, I’ll stick with a KetchAll. Never had an issue with it. It even works as a kill pole if I’m not releasing.
