Hi everyone. I'm currently looking for a few poles. 11' 140; 11'6 135; 11'6 140
I'm in Virginia currently. The rest of the family is in Indiana (I moved for a new job and we are trying to sell the house) and have family in Central Ohio so I have a bit of flexibility with where I can possibly find poles. If anyone has anything, let me know. Obviously, I would love to stay within the same manufacturer for each pole if possible but am flexible since they would be used by a younger vaulter.
Thanks!!

Re: Looking for poles
Essx and Altius are the only brands that make anything like an 11'6 135. Spirit and the Gill poles (Mystic, Skypole, etc) only do 10 pound increments in the shorter lengths.
For a beginner vaulter on short poles, going 10 pounds at a time is usually fine.

That's true. I was just thinking out loud and trying to project growth spurts at the same time.

Re: Looking for poles
I definitely recommend staying with the same manufacturer under 13', they tend to vary quite a bit more from brand to brand than the longer poles do.
