No, really... it's just the outer part because the inner part, on the original wooden padles, was just the wood.. on a tent pole, also, only the outter part is the ferule in aluminum poles, and only the sleve is the ferule in fiberglass poles..... LOL we're such a nit-picky bunch... how many listmembers does it take to change a lightbulb????

But the outer part of most Easton aluminum poles is the pole, so what's the smaller aluminum tube that is glued inside that slips into the adjacent pole called? >LOL we're such a nit-picky bunch... how many listmembers does it take >to change a lightbulb???? Well, it all depends. In the winter, it could take days to decide whether to use 40W, 60W, 75W, 100W, 150W; whether to unscrew counter-clockwise, or clockwise; incandescent, or a new low-energy fluorescent; whether it's appropriate to have an audience watching for bulb-changing carnage; if tethers to the ladder are appropriate or even necessary; and whether or not to wear protective gear during the changing procedure. During the summer months, the bulb will be ignored since we're too busy paddling during the day, and daylight hours are so long we have no need for lightbulbs in the evening--besides, wintertime is maintenance time for kayakers!
