Hi Gary,
i am currently testing out carbon fishing poles they are very very light and strong
but if you do alot of height adjusting then they probably will be a bit awkward as you have to add and take away sections,i do mostly commercial and large domestic properties and i am struggling with fibreglass poles i have been suffering with alot of pains and needed to reduce the pole weight and it is helping,Gaz

The only way to get less weight is to go carbon. Glass has to be of a minimum thickness for its strength, if it was made much thinner it would snap.
