I am looking for a sturdy pole. Description says it's only 1.5 pounds. Is this right? seems too light weight - cheap?

I think it weighs more than that, although it is not really heavy. It is a very, very good pole that locks and operates nicely. The price was right too. Really glad I bought it. Hope this helps. Good luck with your decision. Ron

It seems to be heavy duty, and it feels heavier then that. I can tell you I had my original pole over 10 years and this one seems to be of much better quality.

1.5 pounds sounds lighter than actual, but it is not as heavy duty as one of my older poles. By comparison, it is slightly more stout than the models you would find at the big box stores like Home Depot.

I'm not sure of the weight but the pole is very sturdy. Much better than those sold at places such as Walmart. I am very pleased with mine.

This pole is made very nice it seems to be strong and works great for me.I would buy it again and tell friends to buy!

I do not have a feel for the weight other than it seems comparable to others I've used. My disappointment has been that the locking mechanism does work well and the grip came off.

The pole seems as though it weighs more than 1.5 pounds, but it is not very heavy. It is the sturdiest pole that I have yet to purchase although when I have it extended to it's full length it seems more flimsy. I hope this helps some.

This is a great, sturdy pole. It seems heavier that 1.5 pounds though. Compared to the typical cheap pole, this is probably twice as sturdy. If it was much heavier, you would get tired using it.

it is the sturdiest pool poll i have ever used and can't imagine using one that is heaver. Don't let the weight deceive you as the pole is made out of aluminum, and thus the light weight, it is very sturdy.

This pole is far better than the heavy pole it replaced. It`s easier to use, just as sturdy if not tougher than the old one. I really haven`t found any flaws in the time I`ve had it and am very happy with the pole.

It's not heavy at all. Hung mine using a regular nail and it's been up for months :)

I concur with previous poster. The prop is not as heavy as it looks about 10lbs. It does come with nice mounting bracket though I ended up just leaning my against wall.

I'm not sure what planet you all are from? Maybe some place where gravity is 2X that of Earth? So these might feel "light" to you, but I've got news for you, they are not extra light. They weigh about a pound each. The description even says that. I just got mine and they are really nice looking and solid, but they are NOT light. I've done multiple hikes in the past with other, more expensive poles that ARE light. Having said that, I'll give these a try since they appear solid and I was too cheap to buy the more expensive, LIGHT ones.

It does come with a pole in three or four sections, about five feet in length. It is light weight, but adequate.

My husband used this pole recently in Florida and it worked great. The line rating is 10-16 lbs. Hope this helps.

The pole is smaller (1.5 inches) than the base I had that came with a table. It works but secured with a thumbscrew. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

If they send you all of the pieces - I suppose it might be. It's plenty heavy especially if you have it in the middle of a table for additional support. Mine arrived without the pole assembly though - and all attempts to contact the company to acquire one were in vain. I ended up throwing it out.

The pole is in sections. The base is about 2 ft. around or so. It is quite heavy. We can get a fair amount of wind here and it seems to be holding up well. Haven't noticed any swaying at all.

This is not an ultra-light reel (which tend to be quite small), it is a light to medium-light reel that would go fine with a pretty broad range of poles, from ultra-light to a medium-light pole (I have mine on a medium-light 6'5" Garcia pole). I've got mine with about 100 yards of Suffix 6lb braided line on it (20lb strength) and it does great. It should hold up just fine in a backpack. FYI this reel is really close in size, might actually be identical but for the spool, to the larger IX2000R reel, which is labeled a medium action spinning reel and is rated for heavier line and a greater capacity, handled by a larger spool.

The pole is tension mounted. Not sure how much weight it will support, but am sure that it would support at least 250 or more lbs. as an aide for standing up.

The pole itself it about 2", but 1.5" would work as well it material is strong.

I have it for my 4' high x 12' chain link gate and it supports that just fine. I'd guess the gate to weigh 50 or more pounds. Sorry, never weighed a gate before. It took my daughter and I to lift it and place it on the pole.

I have this pole set up in my room, but with extra support on the ceiling and for my floor I brought in a dance floor because it's carpet otherwise. I'm 5'7 and 125 pounds and it handles good for me. I teach myself so I don't know the actual names of the moves I do but I can support my self, splits and turns, and dropping down the pole. And my boyfriend messes around on it too. He is 6'3 and over 200, but he just messes around and it holds him.

As you can see it comes w extenders , check the max height and how low it will be w the lowest extender. Plus you twist it up ward so if you use 1less or no extender I think you should be ok. For my place I need the complete pole before even locking it to ceiling.

Since all the fish here in Utah are under 5lbs, hard to say. It is a lot more rugged than I really need. I get funny looks like I'm fishing for something much bigger than i'm going to catch. It's not like the super fat poles but it's not skinny either. Wish I could help you more.

Like the other two said, it's a 1 3/8' pole so it may be a little loose in a 1 1/2'. It will work fine but if you want a snug fit you would need a adapter sleeve. Overall it will work just fine!
