I have only used a pole once - on a backpacking trip this year, I found a nice pole that had been left at a stream crossing, and I used it for a day before catching up to the owner, who spotted it as I walked up.

For me, it seemed to be more work than benefit. The only time it came in handy was on a stream crossing.

I also know some other hikers who swear by them. To each his own. Sometimes I wonder if poles are nothing more than fashion accessories for some hikers.
