I am considering buying a 16'1" 170lbs pole.
How do the carrying weights of UCS and Pacer Carbons compare?
Any other info about their characteristics at this length would be great!
Thanks!

A good and cheap way to measure carry weights is to balance the pole without pole tip on your finger extended. Move the pivot point down or up the pole till the pole balances by its self. Measure from that point to the butt end of the pole this is the center of gravity.
The bigger the number you get the better carry weight.
NOTE: The less extra tape on the pole the better measurment you will get.
You will be surprised how much each size pole varies. HAVE FUN
