ive got a pair of smith aluminum poles and their the nices poles ive ever had and probably that ill ever get and  i just put new baskets on them and all thatt stuff so i dont wanna get new ones but their bent like crazy so i was wondering if theres a way i could bend them back to a reasonable bend and what would a good pole thats not too expensive be if there isnt.

dont try bending them back! thats what i tried doing with my scott's and it broke them. You should get the Scott punishers though. There about $75 but they will never bend or brake for sure becuase of their really strong core. There also really lightweight.

thaks man i think ill look into those
