5m 190 Flex Number????

Unread postby jcoover » Tue Mar 20, 2007 1:23 pm

Hey i'm about to get a 5m pole series and am wondering if anyone out there knows the flex number for a mid range Spirit 5m 190 for the beginning of the series? From there, i can build the series using my usual gaps. I am makin the switch from Pacer, so i really have no idea where the flex numbers are on the Spirit 5m series.... any help would be sweet, even if u know what a stiff 85 or a 95 would be.... thanks!

Since Spirit had weird measurments of poles, their closest thing to a 5m pole is 16'1". So, for a 16'1" 190 pole, the flex numbers are between 16.4-17.2. Hope this helps!

What? 16'1 is a 4.90 and 5.00 is a 16'5" and Spirit makes both.
I have two 5m 185's 16.8 and 16.3

Oh, sorry. The flex numbers for a 5m, (16'5" 190), is between 15.6-16.2. Sorry for the confusion.

I have a 5m that's 17.2flex. I think it's a 185 though, so could be stiff 185, soft 190.
