Cutting through the noise, Shark HamSticks are your choice for portable and mobile HF operation. These antennas are made and assembled in America, and offer a superior product to many of its imported rivals. American-made fiberglass is both rigid and tough, and not prone to splitting and cracking. American steel still shines brightest. Shark Antennas have been in the mobile communications market for years, and bring their experience to the amateur radio community.
Shark HamSticks cover a single band, fiberglass masts measures 24" (10, 15, & 20m) or 36” with integral coil and an adjustable (removable) stainless steel whip. Easily tune your Mono Band with the whip, and get on the air in no time at all. All antennas are rated for 250W MAX power, and come with a solid black wrap.
All of the Shark HamSticks have a 3/8” x 24 thread base, convenient for many mounts. All Mono-Band, simply choose what band you want to operate, and mount it on your vehicle for portable, or any number of creative mounts for portable/permanent operation. Buy a matching set and set up a horizontally-opposed dipole, easily stashed in the attic or out back. Use a quad-mount, and buy two sets (bands) and cover your two favorite bands. Buy an octo-mount, and four matching sets/bands, and you can work DX with ease! Please note that these antennas do not come with a mount, owing to the variety of their applications.

Picture and description do not match. I got these with the intent that I could unscrew the steel stinger for storage in truck.In the pic and description. (Shark HamSticks cover a single band, fiberglass masts measures 36” with integral coil and an adjustable (removable) stainless steel whip.)Yes what I was sent is adjustable but if I remove the whip I will have to readjust the whip. What is shown you just have to screw it on and go.Over all very displeased.
So far, I'm having very good success with these. They are easy enough to adjust and tune. Pleasantly surprised with their performance for a relatively compact HF antenna! The 5-band package makes the prices even that much more reasonable. I've even purchased other bands individually to expand my set and having good success with those as well.
These units, like all antennas are a compromise. I like the size and construction looks good. With the swr meter they do show better than with the SAR100 but with 2 SAR 100 units i tested and scanned them. They are narrow. 10 and 20 are great for phone,40 and 75 be cautious. I use a mfj939 to keep the radio happy and for parks on the air, 10 and 20 are great. I think i will need the full size to get extended distance. I tune antennas for band center, and with these being so narrow i am blessed to have the tuner. If you have limited space and desire working coaat to coaat these aré great. For me they miss my desire.
Got this not realizing that the product was the "mini" version of the Shark Hamstick. Shame on me as the product description clearly says "mini". I just did not realize what that means for these antennas when I purchased the set. When I bought them In my mind all Hamsticks were "mini" antennas. Did not realize there are two different sizes. The mini is a less efficient radiator and has a narrower usable frequency range than would be obtained with the full sized version. Fine for what they are but they are not what I wanted.
