I got the Arriba FX03 from Salty dog for $129. They didn't charge anything extra to ship it, some vendors called it oversize & added a premium to shipping.
It doesn't show up on Salty dogs website, but they have them.

I made one 7 footer for my 17 w/wings and trap out of narrow PVC and wood dowels inserted to stiffen. I forget the dia, but there is a size at Lowes that fits the dowels without any mods. I put a bike grip on the end epoxied any exposed wood and drilled the hole for the tiller bolt. It fit INSIDE the U joint for my tiller crossbar.

Well, the stick isn't the problem, it's the bracket at the crossbar. The existing bracket is only 3/8" tall, so just drilling a hole in the stick won't leave enough material to make a strong link. Maybe I need to build an all new swivel.
Just used a piece of plumber's tape to wrap around the pin today, but that was a temporary desperation solution. The wind is in a weird and rare direction this week that allows us to reach the LONG way on the river, for a change.

Go to a hardware store and buy a pipe ($7).
take the pipe outside and mug someone (or however many people needed) to go buy a real hiking stick.
