Question: Are UCS Spirit pole flex numbers measured on a even scale such as 4.60m and 4.75m poles, 4.90m and 5.00m poles? I am quite sure that Gill has different flex ratings for different length poles but I think I heard differently for Spirits.

I believe that UCS flexes 13'/13'7, 14'/14'7, 15'/15'7 etc on the same scale. Gill uses a different span for every length of pole.

I have a 5m 14.6 pacer fiberglass and a 5m 14.6 spirit are these the same pole?

They should be pretty similar.

I can definitely tell you that 12's and 13's are flexed on same scale. As are 13'7" and 14's. 14'7" same scale as 15'. Other than that your on your own. But if you follow this pattern 15'7" and 16' same.
Not IMHO ..... Fact!!
