Tapio, a few years ago I managed to get a 25 foot telescoping fiberglass
pole at a local fishing shop "Bassmasters" for about $25 - you might
search for Bassmaster Pro shops. It would probably be adequate for what
you want but, of course, carbon fiber would be better. I got my 40 foot
carbon fiber pole by searching online for telescoping fishing pole. Mine
came from Japan, I believe, and cost about $125 shipped to me in Chicago.
