(No, the question is not intended to be akin to "How long is a piece of
string?":-)
I know that a panking pole should be kinda tall, especially for pears, but
kinda-sorta HOW tall before it becomes unwieldy? I've fashioned a couple
makeshift poles which have worked so far, but my perry pears aren't all
that tall yet.
Also, what material works best? I'm willing to be untraditional in order
to get a decently long pole that doesn't bend-and-fold, crack, nor rip my
shoulders out of their sockets.
OK, you'll think I should have done the obvious: Go down to the panking
pole store and see what they have. I tried that. They told me, "panking
poles are seasonal items; we don't have any in stock yet."
(Nearly as annoying as when I was trying to find a good 3-legged ladder and
found that stepladders are considered "seasonal items"--yes!)
