wrong...i jump on 15' 7's daily...call the manufacturer, they have them. My 15' 7's are not cut 16's, they are true 15' 7's straight from the factory.

The spirit poles between 15'1" and 16'1" are specially made, i believe. Like wacky stated, call the manufacturers and ask about the various lengths, weights, and prices. If you need a pole within that range, they will be happy to make one for you!
