Best way to ship long item, or looking for spinnaker pole
 

I may need to have something shiped to me that's about 9-1/2 feet long. No it's not a surf rod, it's a spinnaker pole ;)

Anybody know the cheapest method?

Or if anyone knows where I can get a (cheap) 9' spinnaker pole locally in any condition, please let me know :kewl:

thanks,
