The Superlight from Gardiners is tried & tested & loved by many,.. the Brodex offering may be just as good, but I've yet to hear of anyone buying one to give a review.

if i was you i would wait the three weeks....coz you won't get a better pole.

I use a 10 section version at a couple of high jobs I do and it's pole that is great to work with at these heights. Plus it's so easy to put up and take appart, the superlite brush works well too

This might be an issue even with the Super-Lite.  Carbon modular poles need to be looked after and used carefully.  If this is done, they reward the user with amazing lightness and rigidity. 

You may find a telescopic pole copes better with heavy-handed treatment, year on year.  Anyone who describes themselves as too heavy-handed, I would automatically recommend to use a telescopic, not these type of modulars.

The Super-Lite comes with a manual with tips on how to use it.  Would you like me to email you a copy so you can see if this sort of pole is for you?

hi alex what i mean by to heavy handed is that i put the fishing pole together and could quite easily squash it in 1 hand there was no strength to it at all and i would rather have a pole that is specificly made for the job.by all means email me some other sugestions and anything else you have on the superlite its ianmort@live.co.uk cheers
