How do you attach the pole? ???
Title: Re: Back Packs
Post by: S.A.J on January 30, 2007, 06:18:29 pm: On the first picture there is a brass fitting on the end of the orange tube which you can either put the clear hose from your pole straight onto or (i think) you can attach a little bit of micro bore on there.

Does that all make sense

Post by: craig jwc on January 31, 2007, 06:54:59 am: Think Varitech were doing it for £95 if you bought an 18 foot pole.

I had a thing through the post from them advertising this but can't find it so can't be sure.
