Just put a bit of vasaline on it when you get it.

This was a really old issue, newer goosenecks have been a much better fit.

I still prefer the Ali insert and screw the gooseneck to that

I had this with an old CLX pole once. I ended up filing down the gooseneck just to make it easier to pull in/out of the pole. Also rubber gloves help since they allow you to get a better grip & twist the gooseneck out.

I seem to remember someone on here once recommended a product called copaslip. Never tried it myself but may be worth a go.

Have I stumbled into "the Ann Summers meets DIY monthly magazine" thread?  :o
