If i remember correctly the 14.5m section fits perfectly up the 16m section~think .
Its a long time since i have fished mine passed 16m, as they only come out to play for canal work these days as i have two respects.
I have fished it at 19m though in the past (probable a lot less if you take out the droop,lol)it was a good pole and ahead of its time when it came out for the money~clap.
There are some poles out today that are not fishable at 19m so a thumbs up for maver.
I hope they go to a good home for you!
I cant believe i am getting sentimental about a bit of fishing kit,but i bet everybody has a soft spot for some of there gear, ~shh.
