If worse comes to worst, your alu spear will bend and you can bend it back - your CF spear will break and you're out of a spear all together.

And yeah, I'd prolly chalk up the kapow/bang/aftershock thingey to a marketing "need" to stand out...
Fiberglass poles are great too. They take a beating in marketing world to splintering and hands needing ER and all of that. I found one in the ocean some 15 years + ago. The front aluminum fitting needed to be replaced. Still use it today and works great for me and my use.

I think the "Thread Starter" was looking for more info on that aftershock feature vs pole type selection. Based on time stamp, he bought what he needed long ago.
