Re: Need to run a line through the boom

I use a plastic fish tape for most boat work. Does the job and is not affected by salt air.

That is probably the ticket. Be sure to tape the hook part after attaching your line so the hook doesn’t grab anything. Or don’t use the hook at all and very securely tape your line to the rod by itself.

That looks exactly like the tool used by our chimney sweep.
