Check out B&M crappie poles also. They have a great 20' Black Widow that I
have and it works fine as either a vertical or support for a end fed.

For those that asked, my SOTA pole is a KWIK STIX Bream Pole by South
Bend Sporting Model KS-2-20 6 section, reduced in length from 20'6" to
18'3". I'm not sure this is made any more, but they do still offer a 5
section 17ft variant.
I use it to support a LNR EFT-10/20/40 EndFedz Antenna Trail-Friendly,
or very occasionally a 40/20/15/10m homemade linked dipole.
