About to buy a used Stiffy Hybrid 18’ Push Pole for $200. Any thoughts on this model. Will be pushing a 17’ Costa.
The shorter the pole, the more you will have to work using it. I use a 21’ Stiffy Hybrid on my 17’ Costa.

The shallower the water the shoter the pole can be. If you are planning to use it in 5+ feet of water sometimes then get a longer one. I have an 18 on my current boat and had the 21 on my previous boat and liked the 21 more. I think the extra length is helpful in our creeks. IMOO…
Regardless of the length, that’s a steal on a hybrid. If it ended up being short, you could make money selling it.
Agree that’s a good price. If you decide to pass on it or it ends up being too short please let me know and I’ll be glad to take it off your hands.
I too prefer the 21. Hybrid is an excellent pole for around here
