What is the smallest length these poles can shorten to? I want to pack them for traveling. I like my pole about 33" long. Will these work for me?

Looks like 25.5 inches when they are fully shortened for packing and such, and they will extend to 33 inches. Hope that helped:)

They are short, about 12". I think they were meant for a driveway or walkway. I didn't use the poles, I just sat them on tables. However, they work great, even in the rain!!

10.5". (I used a ruler) They are pretty strong too so it would be difficult to cut (with scissors) if needing shorter.

Hello Dave, I'm not totally sure. I needed them to be shorter so I cut one of them. If I remember, there were 4 poles at around 25" each so that would be 100". If you want it to be 150" you'll probably have to buy two of them. Have fun camping!

3 meters? not much help, I know. The ones too short go in a box for future use. if I come across the pluglink box with a length mentioned, I will let you know.

The smallest they can be after bringing in all the various extensions is 26 inches. Hope this helps. By the way, they are very fine walking sticks

Shortest length is about 80". So I'd say, no, they won't work for a 50" pole replacement. I have purchased Eureka aluminum adjustable poles before and they slide up/down to adjust height so they might work. But beware that the Eurekas are not a "spike" top.

Hmmmm. I'm thinking this is a set up question. No you cannot reduce the size by skipping a pole.

OOPS: When I actually took it out of the package, I discovered that it could not be shortened, only lengthened. I am 5'4" and the pole top "as is" comes to under my arm pit. That is OK for me, but I assume that for someone 5', it would come to about the top of that person's shoulder. OLD INCORRECT ANSWER: I just purchased my second stick. The first one I gave to a relative. This one has an adjustable section. I actually haven't used it yet (I bought it for emergencies) but I was pleased to see the adjustability.

I measured them at 36 inches but that's a stretch. I am pulling a Ranger Bass Boat and Trailer. After replacing my old cables with these cables I found the length to be just at the far end of how far I would want to stretch them at 32 inches. Any more than 32 inches and you won't have any excess. These are just a bit shorter then what came on my original trailer but seem to be an adequate replacement.

I think these might be exactly the right length or a little short. They are approximately 5 inches in length. I love mine though. And they cover almost all my normal lures. Goodluck. P.s. i also use a Calcutta lure wrap. Worth looking into.

Six to eight inches. . . .way too long for my needs! I'm still trying to figure out how to shorten them!

Yes. I even carried two of these poles in my small daypack when we were on level hiking trails (when a pole wasn't needed). They're very compact.

I think the only way to shorten it would be to remove the wheels. The poles that form the legs are not adjustable.

Poles run the entire length. I don't think it's possible. There are two lengths of cot though, regular and xtra long.

Sorry, I had to return it as it is really a trekking pole and I need to use it as a collapsible cane. It couldn't be shortened enough for me. It did fold up nicely. Not exactly the answer you need.

Not sure of exact length but it was 3 inches longer than what was needed on my 15' X 9' tent and when I cut it to length it worked perfectly for the pole that was broken. I have used the tent 2 more times in high wind conditions and it has held up very well .
