Jag Storm sticks weight.

Speak to Prolite Explorer (Jag) - they're usually pretty quick to respond

Only thing I would worry about is the brittle nature of the carbon inners and the adhesive attachment to the threaded head if using for barbel bashing when extended etc . . . .tbf I'm a Jag fanboy and have lots of their products but did have a bankstick (15") fail in this area . . .

Excavators have a bigger diameter and an augered point - they do a 35" which may be more suitable for your needs (albeit probs heaver and more expensive than the 36" storm pole equivalent)
 
I found the carbon inners flexed too much so that when using buzzer bars that whole setup wobbled like a jelly and twisted like "it was last summer " so I got shot of them. You probably won't be using bars barbel fishing but thought it worth mentioning.

Thank you.

I too have had a head go, same as you mention, and had forgotten about that so glad you bought it up.I've got Excavators now, in 15 inch but they are very heavy, in comparison to defiant mps titanium and chris brown's in comparable length, hence me contemplating the Jag storm sticks.

Its the inners that are def the issue - fine for low level carp pods (with minimal extension) or storm poles for propping up a bivvy/brolly, but for actual fishing tips up I'd def go Defiant titanium or just stick with standard aluminium . . . .the Fox Powerpoints are brilliant as are the cheaper NGT alternative - I'd hazard a guess that they're both lighter or as light as Jag in the same length as well . . .
