Slx all the way, top quality and proven product.

Haven't checked lately but the exceed would need to be around £50 to £75 cheaper than an SLX for me to take a risk in buying one, for me the "tubeless" feature is just a bit of a novelty with no real benifits

ex-ceed £280 SLX just short of £300. Ex-ceed you need to buy a brush. Gardiner, you need to buy a Aqua Dapter. If you don't use Aqua Dapter, Gardiner wins. Odd thing is, before Ex-ceed new web site, I am sure prices were way better, People will stick to Gardiner, if prices are the same

That pole looks the part and because its tubeless you could attach a tap to the pole without
having a loop.
Cheers for the link.

The tap would be a few metres from the base of the pole though
so not much use ???

Im sure they all come with the Aqua -daptq mine did, so there is no need for a tap and no loop

All telescopic carbon poles will produce black stuff as the friction wears the surface down. ;)

the wrap on the exceed may be worth the choice then, imo

I think gardiner put a comment on here a while ago that they changed from that style of pole wrap for some reason can't remember why?

Gardiners have an insulating wrap on the base section. No carbon pole (telescopic) can be immune from the "black hand syndrome" as this is produced as the tube surface begins to wear from the friction of the telescopic sections. Don't forget that the tube surfaces wear on both the outside & inside. If you fins a pole that doesn't wear & thus is ever-lasting please let the rest of us know!! ;D

Brodex poles tend to be light enough after 15 years of wear!! ;D

I think any modern carbon pole would be a delight after using a Brodex!!

ive just bought a brand new extreme 25 a few weeks ago for my every day pole.well worth it for the reduced strain alone.i do use a slx 22 sometimes as well.

for me its all gardiners poles as brushes/goosenecks etc are interchangeable                                        

22 SLX

25 XTREME

47 XTREME

the 47 footer and the 22 slx will last years as they dont get used much compared to the extreme 25.in fact my 47 is 18 months old and its still like new(gets used around 10 times a month).

i also have another extreme 25 with 2 worn sections which will last another 2 years or so with 2 new sections added.
