Michael,
My 55+ year old cane roach pole (the label on it says ARCA) is 19' 6" long and weighs 1lb 13oz.
Just one careful owner.

Re: Roach/Cane Poles
What is unsurprising when you think about it is that the weight of the longest MANAGEABLE pole in any material, be it cane, fibreglass or variations of carbon is usually around one kilo or just over 2lbs, it's just the length that varies enormously according to the material.
