Hartwigs poles are taped special at the factory - Carbon FX is his lastest series - borrowed Lobinger's at a meet last summer - liked them so had a series just made for himself
Plant like crap sometimes ok most times

Jeff poles are just Pacer FX poles. He doesn't do anything to them once he get them. They are just big. LON

Basically, I was agreeing with him since I see what they are and what he does to them once he get them into the building.

If you want to look at it that way, they are all custom made. LON

5m 155! I guess that's Gill's new model...the Noodle FX. :D

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?

Yeah, no offense intended. It's not the size of your pole, it's how you use it...uh, or something like that.
