Help moving from a 15ft to a 16ft Pole

Unread postby Ijump2 » Tue Jun 08, 2010 12:13 pm

Any idea what would be the next step moving from a 15ft 175 to a 16ft pole holding around 15'? I am thinking a 15' 175 and a 16' 170 should be close to the same....

A 16'170 would probably be quite a bit bigger.

15'-175 is much more comparable to a 16'-155

The next pole up from a 15'-175 would be a 15'7-170 or 16'-160. Both of these are bigger than a 15'-175.
