Fishing pole for sure,i used mine at 40ft today and couldn`t use anything else now.You can use it 1 handed if the phone rings.

There £181 one
Universal Fibre glass water fed pole with rigid metal collar & angle adaptor & brush
39ft - 2400mm - 12780mm - 13.6m or 45ft - 7.90Kg

That`s nearly 6x the weight of my pole at that height.

I’ve got this pole and it weights a ton and a bit whippy fully extended, yes its cheap but you will be knackered after 30 mins of using it.
-
I don`t know why anybody buys em,i know there cheaper than the rest but like you say you`ve had it after 30mins of using it.
-
pay half, pay twice
-
You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make it drink.
pay half, half the weight, work faster = More £££££££

Alex,
Let me know if you find a 10m extendable flag pole thing made from carbon fibre as they are usually made from Glass fibre.

First three are glassfibre telescopic and max is about 20ft, the carbon fibre at 13m will give a pole about 10m but no idea of the thickness of the tube from a pic and dont know if you can add extensions.
I thought you wanted to go to 40ft, the only one I can therefore I reccomend is the F16 as it seems not to have many problems. You have to realise these are very light instruments and will need looking after, mine is now 17 months old.
-
i was just suggesting them to see if they could be added to and taken away, you know, use them for the lower sections and add a carbon fibre piece(s) to take me upto 40ft
would any 16m carbon pole do or is the f-16 the best one because of its "stiffness"
-
"would any 16m carbon pole do or is the f-16 the best one because of its "stiffness"
Any but I only have experience of hands on with 3, A Leeda Blue Diamond- no longer in production but a damn good pole if you can get second hand and a Garbolino Executioner.
I have felt many others but they seem to be a bit thin. Email if you want or If I can help to know more. Got to go off line to get on ebay soon.
The F16 is the one.
-
so you would recomend all three
ill just keep my eye open on ebay see what i can find,
so if i get the pole and follow you advice on the diyforum, i should have a pole capable of going over 72ft, with extensions
but i only need it for 40ft or so, just want the capabilities and dont want to shell out for a monster or a uni pole 8kg thats just mad
-
To go to 42ft you need the Zensorflex section 4 and the F16 16metre. If you want to dip your toe in, then get the Zensorflex section 4 (all)and the Ron Thompson Reload 10m which will give you a working everyday modular pole for about £50+20 which I think is what NWH has.
-
i need 40ft though
so gonna shell out on the f-16
-
Ok :)
Some shops knock a bit off because you dont need sections 1-4 or ebay them or keep them for when you start fishing.
There is a guy in Hamilton thats providing a maver 50ft with a brush goose neck and hose for about £400 he is also supposed to be able to get other makes.
Dont forget for the F16 £250 you need to get a cheap Zensorflex for the No4 section- Try Swiftys tackle £18.50ish
Immage shack aint compatible on this forum so I have just posted a pic at the end of reply 3 in the link below, of how to attatch a brush. I reccomend the cut down Unger swivel which then allows you to fit any light brush you like.

ok what im asking is where is the cheapest place to get the f-16 with/without the top sections
i want to get this pole, that might mean paying £300, but if i can pay £290 i will
how much do the top sections fetch on ebay? 30quid?
-
Cheshire fishing have the best current price because they buy 1000 at a time and can easily get spares or extensions from Map/Leeda , they are due to rise to £290 when current stocks have sold. Talk to them (but dont try to haggle too much as they know they have the best price and dont deal with the trade, and/or the guy from Hamilton.
-
so i only need the f-16 and the enflex to get to 42ft right
cos i just bought the f-16
-
Yes you need a Zensor flex no 4 section to put the brush on and to act as a strong collar for the No5 section F16 16 metre. They are fairly common. Its also used as a ground level 3ft pole.
-
HMMMM
ILL BUY IT NOW
-
The F16 that i bought locally was £250 they also kept the top 3 sections , their list price was £350 so they knocked off £100.
I love this pole sooo much I just cant find enough excuses to get it out of the van
