Re: [ATM] 6-pole
You might want 6-pole to get it ultra-light. Remenber 1 pound extra at the
top is 5 extra
at the bottom (2.5lb equiv at the bottom as the poles go the whole length
so moment from middle of scope - very roughly!)
But the design/implementation is a pain in the ass!
6 pole performs well for me though.
