I have extended the retrieval Pole with hose clamps and combine the aluminum 25 footer with the yellow fiberglass. And I double folded the green fence wire on the end into a hook for stiffness and to reduce entanglement. Only the green wire is showing up in the attic. Because it is so long even together you pull on the green wire down and let it blow the truss. You draw it out by the tip and all the pieces will follow. It does have to bend the front tip slightly to come out and it goes up in reverse. No need to stand on chairs and lift. Any problems feel free to call me. The aluminum sections do not stay extended well.
