Whats different about it,surley a 24ft glass fibre pole weight wise is a 24ft glass fibre pole.A normal glass fibre pole at 24ft is awful,is it the way it can be put up quickly that makes it better or what,the most important thing for me is that it would be mega light especially after using the fishing type poles.The only time i use glass fibre is when i use my mini pole or 12ft extender other than that i don`t go near glass fibre.
