I`ve used them all and you`ll have to go to town to beat my 24ft carbon facelift until the end of january it`s the best pole for it`s height but not the cheapest, probobly the most expensive actually.

I hope it`s not the one in the pic cos that`s not carbon,it seems a bit cheap to me for it to be good grade carbon.

This is the old Universal range of carbon fibre poles.  Ionics and another wholesaler are in the process of selling them off.  Whilst they are pretty tough poles, they are not light at all.

Just looked the weights of these poles up.

Universal Carbon Fibre Pole Weights (all weights approx. pole only without brush/gooseneck)
18ft = 3.7kg
24ft = 4.55kg
30ft = 5.15kg
39ft = 6.35kg
45ft = 8.25kg
60ft = 10.5kg

To put that into perspective an X-Tel Hybrid 24ft weighs 2.0kg, a Facelift 31ft weighs 2.58kg and the new SL-X 25ft weighs 1.45kg.
