    Not sure what brand frame you have. When I had a Hinterberg stretch, I bought the poles locally at Home Depot and had them cut to the length I needed. https://www.homedepot.com/p/1-1-4-in...1576/100400410

    I have the real Red Snappers and love them, and the Red E Edge too. I haven't seen a deal on them, but I recommend getting the real thing. I tried a substitute and it was a waste of money. The plastic pieces were very hard to snap over the rod inside the leaders. Red Snapper rods and clamps are made to fit.

    I also have the real red snappers, have been using them for 4-5 years now. I love them. They hold securely and make loading / unloading so much faster.

    I have the red snappers and love them, there was a bit of a learning curve however. Waited 2 years to buy them and never saw
    them on sale anywhere so just jumped in and bought them. Have had them about 5 years and will not go back...
    Peace, Brenda

    Look for Leader Grips, they do the same thing.
