honestly it?s true though when talking about push poles..the longer the pole, the less you have to reset your pole in the mud for the next push. Also, in some situations flats are criss crossed by canals and deeper bayous where extra push pole length is appreciated. I have a 22? carbon fiber and wouldn?t have any less, but I pole 90% of the time when fishing. If you plan on poling infrequently, then you can get away with a shorter heavier pole like the traditional duck bill aluminum poles..depends on your application

What he said, if you?re going to spend a lot of time doing it longer and lighter is better.
