Changing Poles

Unread postby allyTJ » Tue Jul 15, 2008 6:50 am

I am about to move from 15ft to 16ft poles and need to know the best progression for weight. I currently use a 15ft 175-180lbs and was wondering what the best 16ft pole would be to start on?

First of all, you should TRY to find some 15'6'' poles that you can use before you get to 16's. But anyway, if that's not a possibility, then you should either need just a little less weight on the 16's or the same. Search 'pole progression chart' on here or google it.
