Location: Madtown, WI		Cat Maxx rods from BPS may fit the bill. They are cheap and you get get them up to 10' to increase your spread on your down rods.

Location: Waukesha, WI		How are the TDR's as a down rod? Wondering if anyone has had issues with them coming apart. Looks like you cant beat them for the price.

No problems with running them as down rods for me.

I'll also add they are great inline planer boards rods. They absorb the shock of the boards cutting thru the waves.
