Roach/Cane Poles

Post by Michael »

I`m conducting an experiment :holmes: into roach/cane poles, versus long rods and therefore I would like to seek the assistance of any forum members who use or collect cane poles. I`m seeking as many examples as possible,as to the approximate weight of poles in the 16`-24` length. If possible, to the nearest 1/4oz or 7-8gms, or however accurate one can make it.

I will be grateful for any information received/provided...... :Hat:
