Go-Devil makes a good one out of aluminum. It floats too.

 Re: PUSH POLES- WHICH ONE?
I use 3 items...
12 foot GoDevil push pole ( for routine convenience and decoy pickup )
3 foot - 1" pvc pipe ( for sliding over rocks or oysters )
5 foot - 2x4 ( for moving the boat till she floats again )

I have a PD push pole I will sell you. Not sure where you are located as it would not be prudent to ship it.

My GD push pole works for me!  Not that I have ever used it.

 Re: PUSH POLES- WHICH ONE?
I can vouch foir the PD one, Ive put my entire kegbutt into it and it doesnt flench and I used to be one of the fatter members here. It just doesnt ride well going down the road untied down at 70mph  Nevver used it much with FPR and once I got used to how to launch at a boat ramp with a mm.

Heard GD is strong and it floats. But that is what I heard.
