You serious? Guess thats what you get for being the 'head' of your company. I guess the longest Ive jumped on is a 15' my fresman year.. not saying it worked cuz it was for fun and I fell with my back on the standards...

My longest real pole is a.. 13'7 176lbs and Im moving up to a 182lb one next week coming from none other then Essx. I hope maybe Ill get good enough with it to stick with it in college and try one of those Essx carbon fibers that I have a wonderful bend picture of.... not the 17'5" one Essx.. Ill never be that good... PROMISE.. or Ill buy you a pole if I get there (you better keep a copy of this to show me :)

The guys say they have built a 5.50 in the past - but don't think the guy in Europe ever used them.
Plant like crap sometimes ok most times
