The MFJ 33' lightweight mast is OK for a vertical or supporting maybe part of a dipole - the end piece is just as whippy as a fishing pole and about as rigid...
BUT, I removed the last section and put a 14 ga wire inside, taped to the top and it's made a dandy vertical with a coupler at the base and radials. Works decent on most bands with 100 watts and since it tucked into one of my trees, it's subtle.
But if you want a more rigid pole, MFJ makes them as well, heavier and more expensive, but some of them look like they could hold up a small antenna other than wire.
