New Altius Carbon/Glass Poles?

Unread postby chasing6 » Thu Mar 19, 2009 11:36 pm

I've heard rumors of a new Altius pole that is 1 "layer" of carbon fiber and 1 "layer" of regular fiberglass. Does anybody have any info on these? I did a google for them but found nothing.

Apparently these new poles roll to vertical easier and have good return on top, but i'd have to see it to believe it.
Whether you believe you can or cannot, you're right.

I don't know the specifics, but I did talk with an Altius dealer he told me that they are building carbons, they are $50 more than the regular glass, and they cant keep up with the orders.
