These look great, ive made and used similar ones for about 6 years now, just taking a flat piece of 1x6 and gluing 2 - 1x2s upright with the notch on the top and also screwing the up rights to the base and you have it. Leave the base about 8" long with the up rights at the back of the base as shown in this guys pics. As for what to use on the pole, I use a hose clamp that way I can fit it to any size pole handle and then after i get it on, i break out 2 thread bands on each side of the pole to slip a copper welding rod through it to fit the width of the pole holder. Also with the hose clamp, you can tighten up the clamp as the handle gets looser or for some reason wont fit tight. But once again, this setups are great and easy to pack and do get the very very light bites. I do like that this guys will lay down flat for transport. Guess im going to have to modify mine to do the same but if you dont want to mess with building your own, the $10 would be well worth it too. Ill have to get a couple pics of mine and post up. They are very rough looking but work well.
