There was not much of a difference between the 14' Mystic Carbons and CarbonFX models, so now they just make the Mystic Carbons in that length.

If you need a weight stiffer than what is listed in the catalog, call up the manufacturer and they may be able to help you out.

That is interesting that Mstic carbons go up to 160lbs
We only make for World Class Gals poles CArbon 14- from 160 up????

You see we find that carbon is very stiff and to replace S glass you are trading very little Carbon for a lot of S glass so to make less than 160 lbs We would have to use E glass in order to get the softer poles and maintain a saftey level. So to use heavier E glass just so we could call them carbon is in my opinion a waste and not a fair trade out. That is how we would have to make them. I am not privy to how others make their smaller carbons.
