Yeah, i'll probably end up going with line. I had rigged my aluminum pole with line before but ended up bending it because i didn't do a good enough job securing it in the middle. I'm going to try a carbon pole this time around in addition to securing it better. Also, i believe i have a stock n20 spin but needed a 14 foot pole with a bunch of prebend to get proper luff tension. Is that normal? My carbon pole is 15 feet long so i'm going to play around with the tack location a bit.
