Seriously, how do you keep that thing from flopping around and denting the sh!t out of the hood of your car when you drive down the highway?

Hartwig's Poles

Unread postby PV Knox » Mon Feb 16, 2004 11:18 pm

I have seen Jeff Hartwig's poles in person and they are very big. He uses Pacer Carbons. He uses these primarily because the poles are made out of carbon and weigh less than any other brand of pole. When you have a huge pole you need it to be as light as possible. Plus the fact that a Pacer Carbon is an awesome pole.
