Title: pole hose instead of reel hose
Post by: trafficjamz on March 15, 2015, 09:27:01 pm: Is there anyone using gardiner all season pole hose on their reel?
I previously used minibore, but then I bought a used hannay reel that already had some green unger pole hose on it. Now that I have got used to the thin diameter and the lightweight of it, I can't go back to mini or microbore.

Now I could get some more of this green hose but the only thing I don't like about it is the slight elasticity of it. Hence the question about the all season hose.

The unger hose has lasted a few years so I'm ok with the durability. There is one section that the outer plastic has worn away but still no leaks.

And this stuff also doesn't stay curly even on the coldest day
