Pain in the ass to extend the 2nd one with 6'6'' sections.

If the 1st pole is in good nic, i.e no spinning of the sections because of wear I reckon it's worth bidding on.

The flex in glass fibre at that height if stretched over a large extension is massive

What he said - At that length a Carbon Pole would still be fairly straight whereas a Fibreglass Pole resemble the letter 'n'
