I noticed something about the LT4's that I received in the mail today and how they were different than the original ones I received. Can anyone examine theirs and tell me if they have the same thing occuring? Im posting a drawing to better explain things because I unfortunately do not have access to my camera at the moment.
As you can see with pole #1 the inside pole does not insert all the way back into the outside pole sleeve. In fact it sticks 1 inch out of it. On the other hand, the inside pole of drawing #2 has completely recoiled back into the outside sleeve.
The original poles I got were like #2. However, my new ones are like #1. From my experience, I have always seen all poles completely collaspe down into their outside sleeves. It seems like it is a good idea to do so, both for better compactability and for keeping outside elements from entering inside the sleeve shafts.
All said and done, how do your poles look like and do you feel as though I have a right to be concerned about this since my original poles did completely collaspe down into one another. It should also be noted that I got 2 sets of poles with this second order and both sets are like pole #1.
Thanks ahead of time.
