Funny this topic came up, I just purchased a 20′ Stiffy hybrid pole from Charleston Anger this weekend. It is quite light, I’ll see how it works out. I had been wanting a push pole for awhile but shipping one piece poles is a problem and I had a couple of people strongly recommend against ordering a two piece and joining it. The TFO sounded like a good possibility but I had planned on going to Charleston for awhile and knew they carried poles so I just waited. On a side note, we hired a guide, Ben Floyd, for the day and highly recommend him. We fished the creeks during low tide in the afternoon but in the morning decided to go out to the line of buoys and sight cast to cobia. We didn’t get any cobia but I did land this Amberjack on a 10 wt. 😀
I plan on living forever, so far so good.
