After poking many holes in the tops of my banner flags, I came up with a method that has worked very well in protecting the silk and helps the flag be more usable. I’ve done a series of images to show how-to do it, it’s not hard at all but it’s just easier to show you than it is to describe in email (as I’ve done for several of you before). 🙂
NOTE: this style is for PERSONAL use, I’ve come up with a different design for use in a CORPORATE setting.
This presumes you are using a crappie fishing pole and a Dyed4you flag/banner (typically 45×108 with a flag seam, but we also do special orders for larger or heavier weights).
My personal favorite pole is the 10′ ones from BassPro, Walmart carries them for a couple dollars less, but the handle is texture plastic which I find chaffs my hands whereas the BassPro one is pleather and therefore more gentle 🙂
