The CKG Carbon Fiber Travel Handle is a two piece sand scoop pole that splits into a 27 in and a 22.5 in section for travel, then clicks together into a full 45.5 in handle in seconds, with no tools. At 14.8 oz of 2 mm wall carbon fiber, it is built for beach and water hunters who fly or drive to their beaches and want a full length scoop handle in checked luggage, a backpack or behind a truck seat.
Who the CKG travel handle is for
Choose this handle if your best beaches involve an airport or a small car, and you want a stiff, standing height scoop pole that packs short. If your scoop never leaves the truck, the one piece CKG carbon fiber handle is the same 45.5 in length, slightly lighter at 14 oz, and comes in four colors. Both are in our CKG collection.
Features of the two piece carbon fiber scoop handle
- Click lock assembly: the two sections lock together rigid enough to pry loaded scoops of wet sand, with no tools and no wobble at the joint.
- Packs to 27 in: the longest section fits checked suitcases, beach bags and backpacks, so you can bring your own scoop pole instead of renting or improvising.
- Full 45.5 in reach: the same length as the one piece CKG pole, long enough to dig standing up in dry sand, the wet slope and shallow water, which saves your back and knees over a long hunt.
- 14.8 oz carbon fiber: under an ounce heavier than the one piece CKG pole, so the travel joint costs almost nothing in weight.
- Salt water proof: carbon fiber cannot rust or corrode, so it will not seize or pit like a metal pole after seasons in the surf.
- 28.5 mm (1 1/8 in) diameter: fits CKG sand scoops and standard scoop and rake mounts.
- Black or blue: match the rest of your rig, or pick the color that is easier to spot on the sand.

Scoop compatibility
The handle fits any scoop basket or tool head with a mount sized for a 28.5 mm (1 1/8 in) pole, including CKG scoops. If you are pairing it with another brand's basket, check that the basket's socket takes a 1 1/8 in pole before you order. No scoop basket is included.
