Get the Gardiner CLX22 mate, its has a 26ft reach, is only 100gm heavier than the full carbon SLX22, and its about £150. makes sense. And if you're really interested, go to a shop that stocks them, ask to pay cash, and you might get it pre VAT price i.e. £120. Thats what i did /emoticons/wink.pngRight its sorted i dont know how to put a link.from.ebay on a phone so i wont but.had a word.with the seller told.him what i think.about his carbon pole. He never protested.too much at all told me he would refund.me. i paid 97 quid+10 pounds delivery so would be happy with my purchase if the pole turned out to be carbon. Anyway its sorted. What do u guys think about 24 feet ionics grafter poles? Thats a hybrid isnt it? I cant afford a brand new carbon but these grafters are just about in my price range. Worth 170 quid all in brand new ?
