Each reducer sleeve is 6\" long, with a 1-1\/8\" inside diameter and a 1-1\/2\" outside diameter, giving the pole butt the correct fit inside the upgraded base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a practical part for anglers who already have GS-170 outrigger poles and are moving to compatible GS-280 or higher series bases without replacing the poles. The white nylon sleeve fills the diameter difference cleanly, so the existing poles can continue to be used in a newer outrigger base setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eKey features\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduces a 1-1\/2\" Grand Slam base opening to accept a 1-1\/8\" outrigger pole butt.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks with TACO Marine 1-1\/8\" GS-170 outrigger poles when upgrading to compatible GS-280 or higher series bases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6\" sleeve length gives the reducer enough contact area for a stable fit inside the base.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon construction keeps the reducer light and suitable for use around saltwater fishing hardware.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhite finish blends with common outrigger pole and base hardware on many center consoles and sport-fishing boats.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSold as a pair for port and starboard outrigger bases.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch6\u003eInstallation and fit\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reducer sleeves install between the outrigger pole butt and the larger base opening. They are used when the pole diameter is 1-1\/8\" and the base is sized for a 1-1\/2\" pin-locking butt pole, so checking both measurements before ordering is the key step.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part is most useful during an outrigger base upgrade, especially on boats already rigged with TACO GS-170 poles. It helps keep the existing poles in service while changing the base hardware to a larger Grand Slam setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch6\u003eUse on board\u003c\/h6\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor offshore trolling, coastal fishing, and regular weekend use, this reducer solves a common rigging issue without changing the full outrigger package.
