Title: SLX/CLX pole wear???
Post by: daveappleby on March 19, 2014, 12:54:45 pm

Looking to maybe purchase a new pole and looking at the Gardiners CLX or SLX?

Just wondered as the CLX is 50% carbon and fiberglass, what is the wear like on this pole over a 100% carbon type?

Thanks.

Wear is fine on both. I have a YouTube video explaining who to extend the life of a pole as well.

FYI forget the CLX go straight to the SLX.

Clx wears quicker than the slx in my experience

yup we've found this too ... prob lasting twice as long and when it does wear gets a fortune on eBay .... just must describe it as worn out and they still sell  :)

Yeah thought as much. I had an old fibreglass pole which degraded quite quickly. I know full carbon is way to go just got to stomach the extra £70+
