which pole next?

Unread postby RLKajander » Wed Feb 22, 2012 9:45 pm

I am debating on which pole to get next for my son. He is like I was in middle/high school, tall and lanky, too bad we all grow old...He has just past the 120lb mark and is jumping about 6'6" or so.

I am thinking a 130# but should i get the 11'6" or go for the 12'4" pole.

He's going to go through a lot of poles over the next few years... I wouldn't buy anything smaller than a 12'4 130.
