I just jumped on my new ESSX poles yesterday and They are awesome. They get a really good high bend and then unbend quick so it tosses you over the bar just like a good pole is supposed to. And they are crazy light I think my smaller one is like 3.5 lbs and its a 15'. I was holding about 13'8" on it and was getting over 15. Im not saying that ESSX poles are the best poles but they are the best ones ive got.
For anyone else who has jumped on essx like Scott Duckworth, what do you think?

I really like the Essx poles also. They work very well for me - they feel a bit easier to get in on and then come back better than other poles I have used. Nice high bend makes the swing a bit easier. I PRed the first day I used them - 15'9" - so I was pretty well hooked from day 1. I still carry one of my old Pacer Carbons - they are nice poles also, but I prefer the Essx. For me they seem to work best.
