Gardiners brush

[ksp]

Hi,

Does anyone know if the gardeners brushes will attach to a water genie viper? I have had a look and feel reasonably certain if I bought a gooseneck I could then use the brushes, however I'm not certain so I thought I'd ask. I have emailed but haven't as yet managed to get a reply.

Please can you tell us what their reply was @ksp

I'm not exactly interested myself tbh as I would only buy Gardiner poles, but your reply might answer the same question someone else might raise in the future.

In a nutshell you can. It depends on the type and size of thread and there's also a way you may be able to use a gooseneck if that fails. I've committed to the purchase and I'll update how I got on once I've received it.

This will fit on all waterfed poles with a euro thread end, I've got one on my xline pole

I agree.

The suppliers of this pole also supply Vikan brushes. Our experience with Vikan is that they weren't compatible with the euro thread. We had to use the Unger adaptor on our Unger Teleplus poles.

We never bothered with trying to convert those Vikan brushes to Gardiner poles when they first came out as they were too heavy - a lovely brush but just too heavy. We were into modifying Bentley brushes for modular carbon fishing poles back then before Alex started his own telescopic pole range. Bentley brushes were eurothreaded.

This is why I'm interested to know what Gardiner's reply was. I guessing that there was a little delay in Gardiners response to the op's original question as it was probably referred to Alex to answer it. So I'm inclined to feel that the answer was a little more detailed. :1f609:

I looked at their YouTube video clamp test and saw that they have an alloy end with a screw fitting. But I couldn't find a reference to what that fitting is. The suppliers website isn't very good tbh.
