Title: Oh my God, I've done it!!!
Post by: mlscontractcleaner on February 10, 2014, 11:05:00 am
I'm shortly going to loose my virginity.

I feel ashamed that it's taken me this long and I hope it's as good as I'm hoping.

At this time I'm still a Gardiner virgin but that will all change in a few days when a nice new pole arrives at my house.

To all you Gardiner fans; I'll shortly be one of you  ;D

You wont regret it.

I love my gardiner pole. Just make sure you keep it well maintaned, change your indicator tape every two weeks, keep it clean and lubricated.

I use autoglym resin polish on the poles once a month. It keeps the action nice and smooth.

The new 65% carbon clx2

I know they have lighter, stiffer poles there to choose from but as I'm used to using poles from Streamline I reckon this new one is going to be a huge improvement.

next on my list is a SLX35.

Nothing wrong with hybrid streamline poles apart they are alot heaver than some. I'm sure you can flog them on fleebay to a newbie that's on a tight budget that would be more than happy with them ;D.

Streamline poles are too heavy and too wide at the handle end

I also have an Ionic Ergolite at 60ft which is heavy and at 8ft or so the sections are ridiculously long.

I'm changing everything to Gardiner.m

I just had my first day using a 47' extreme.

Really amazing.
