i must say that upto a 21ft pole i keep coming back to vikan. i've used the ionics mono & bentleys but the vikan is the one i prefer to use.
i've got a tucker on a 40ft+ pole and they are very good quality. still the same shape of when i bought it 2 years ago. never used them on the smaller poles mind but i'm sure they are good.
i suppose you get used to what you do and for me i always go back to the vikan. it is heavier. it makes the pole bend more but the plus out weighs the minuses for me. at a maximum of 21ft i find them the best i've used so far
got a superlite coming tomorrow so i can pass judgement on them soon as well
