Specs at a glance

  • Pole: aluminum, telescopic, up to 6 ft
  • Light: detachable aluminum base
  • Power: 3 AAA batteries
  • Flag: bright orange
  • Mounting: 2 mounting options included

Good to know

  • Carry spare AAA batteries, especially for early morning or late evening trips.
  • Drop the pole down before passing under bridges or low branches.

KayakDIY take: Kayaks sit low and are hard for boaters to see, so a tall flag and light is worth having anywhere there is boat traffic. For more options, see my fishing kayak accessories guide.
