Which flag staff to purchase?

I have seen flag poles inserted into the rod holder on a down rigger using a piece of PVC pipe as a "spacer or holder".

Although what I picture on the Tom Cat, is a bit different than the 22, perhaps a fitting similar can be fitted by bolting to the transom, rather than deck aft of the lazarette hatch as many have done on the 22

This is a 39 degree 3/4" rail holder, if you put a 15 degree wedge under it, it would give a good angle for a flag pole of 3/4" SS.

As an aside on your photo: I've seen that type of rigging tubing/fittings only in photos, but it sure looks slick compared to the mesh "tube" and easily-torn rubber boot, or the just-wire-tied hoses. I wonder why it isn't used more on C-Dorys? (At least I have not seen it on them very often in photos.)
