FIRESTIK 3 Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Antenna Spring SS-3H

Installed this on my jeep along with a five foot FireStik, works like a charm. I have seen countless fiber glass antennae bite the dust on the trail from a small tree branch hit or even from wind. This small coil gives just enough play and wiggle to prevent this.

I have a new Jeep and I needed a new CB spring. I bought both of the springs from Firestik as well as a big spring from Radio Shack. The Radio Shack spring was too fat to fit where I needed it. The smaller spring from Firestik seemed fine until the Jeep started rocking from side to side on a bumpy trail, and then the CB antenna would fling back and forth, ending up horizontal half of the time. This tougher spring is just perfect, as it allows some flexibility while staying fairly rigid on the trail.

i have a 7 foot firestik on it and it works just fine. the tip of my antenna is just over 11 feet and i hit awnings and trees all the times and it has plenty of give. works great on the highway as well it remains stiff enough that the antenna doesnt flop around.
