why does nobody sell a 4 section 18ft carbon fibre pole?
-
i seem to remember being told that facelift would make a pole to any lengh you wanted .
-
Because its pointless
you need carboon fibre for stiffness
At 18ft theres no problem with rigidity of fibre glass
You wouldnt even notice the difference, except that it would be twice the price
-
it would also be half the weight tho would it not
this is a factor for some people (not me)
-
Ron Thompson Gangsta carbon carp pole - sixty quid.
-
how does this fishing pole conversion stuff work
how do you get round the tapering of the blank as the length increases
i have a few fishing poles i no longer use
from 6 to 14 mtrs
any links to old posts on diy fishing poles anyone ???

I used one for a year - really easy to do, cheap too, though not as cheap as a Harris pole. Jeff Brimble is the man on this. I simply slotted about six inches of broom handle with the threaded bit into the top section and bonded it in. Obviously you can't use the very whippy sections but an eleven metre Ron Thompson Gangsta pole will give you a very light 25 foot carbon pole.

we can supply 18ft carbons, not yet on our site but start from £180
-
emporium poles do a 18ft modular very light and rigid regards alan

I have cut a facelift down to 21ft and you do notice the difference,it is like a broom handle and a superb poleThe best way to do it is cut 1 down,it`s easy enough to do.
-
Blimey, not a cheap option though.
-

When I use my 17' Xtel I cringe everytime I use it. It's SO floppy it's not even funny. I'd say there is a perfect market for 18' Carbon fibre poles.
-
There`s carbon fiber and there`s carbon fiber,Brodex did a what`s supposed to be the same and it was rubbish it wasn`t even carbon fiber it was was a paper like wrap over the top of plastic which was made to look like carbon.I would want to see a cut cross section of the pole before i bought one.

Why would anyone want an 18' carbon pole when there's the SL-X? A true all day pole for ninety percent residential work.

True, but not everyone might have that sort of money, although I would thoroughly recommend the SL-X. :)

I believe it would fill a gap. I'd have no use for a 24' pole. I like the idea for the odd one that might ask me, however as an every day pole a 24 footer would be very under used and I'd have a load of extra pole hose at my feet all the time as I use a trigger for flow control.
I currently use an Unger HiFlo 17ft pole which does all my work but I would still like a lghter pole.
-
SLX expensive compared to some i suppose but you only need the one pole to cover everything to three storeys. If you buy an eighteen footer you'll need another to get you to three storeys then maybe a third for highest work. If you get the chance to try one or borrow one you'll see why they are so good.
