Title: What 2 Poles would you choose?
Post by: Pj on December 02, 2007, 10:12:55 am

Poles have changed so much in the last two years or so.  I bought poles then that still have plenty of life in them, but I often think of upgrading/updating.  Which ones to buy?  Most have some good feature.



If you had to choose just 2 poles to cover all your work, what 2 would you choose and why? 

And what brushes would you put on the end?

Thanks for possible feedback.

Gardiners S2 with Bentley Superlight brush and a carbon telescopic 24 foot when Gardiners bring it out with a vkan rectangular monofil on the end. (that's if my lottery numbers come up)

Forgot to add the brushes i use on the facelift is a vikan rec and the short one has a rec cleantech brush

thanks for input.  It's always interesting to read what others are using.  It seems most want something else, something better.

That is why I said, what would you choose?

I think 3 poles are needed too, I have F16 fishing pole for everything over 25' with a supalite brush & a Hybrid Carbon Xtel 24' with a supalite brush for almost everything else & a 3x3' minpole with a oval vikan for the bottoms, Paula uses a 15' exel with a Gaz Mono brush & a 3x3' minipole with a addis mono brush
