5.87 Janson

He has. Pretty impressive actually. Strong message for people searching for the perfect pole I guess.

I know that on the stabhoch.com site there is a way to get to a link that shows this older lady making a pole, it's written all in German, so is that lancet or something else? I think it is pretty interesting to watch the picture series though.

LANCET GER

http://www.ndr.de/sydney2000/interaktiv ... ng_02.html then click the green button for a while and then you are in the factory and thats where the pole making begins.

Yes that is Lancet

Interesting method they start with cloth and add Resin to the pole while on the mandrel. They even spiral like PACER

Makes the poles heavy but economical process.
