You aint going to like this but you should have started with a 40fter , as its not easy putting extensions on to the Gangster www.cheshirefishing.co.uk/shop/mappoles.htm  Have 40ft actual cut down length, M16 @ £294 0r the F16 at £249. (They are not interchanegable) Both poles are very stiff compared to the Gangster, My F16s going well into its third year.

Jeff - I`m sure I see someone on here extended the gangster a bit, But if not its not a problem, I`m still in shock at the difference using a carbon pole makes to a days graft! Its as if I have the strength of 10 men! Ive read most of your posts on this carbon pole subject and I wished I`d crossed over to the "dark side" sooner! - Keep up the good work!

i got a series of zensorflex and gangsta's to 42 ft, it was nice enough in weight and bend aswell

it was a gangsta and a few spare bits from a gansta and TWO zensorflex's, though looking at it i said at the time, i would have got similer out of the ONE gangsta and THREE zenslorflex's ( i never did try it though )

JSMC,

These poles are modular, so there's no clamps.

But they're light, cost-effective, robust and my Gangster and Zensorlex are both class bits of kit.

JSMC,

I've had a tough few days of work, and I'm currently cooking dinner; (I'm on the lap top in the kitchen; and I'm not keen on the keyboard either); but I did a good DIY guide not so long ago which I'm sure gives weights and stuff.

Use the search button, search for Tosh Zensorflex Gazza, and I'm sure that'll give you a good start.

But to be brief, for around £100 (ish) you'll get two poles, the Gangster and the Zensorflex which are both tough and lightweight; the Zensorflex will give you about 15 to 18 foot (depending on how you modify it) and the Gangster will give you about 25 foot; though using two sections of the Zensorflex with the Gangster will get you to about 30 foot; comfortable for most 3 story buildings.

If I was selling them I'd probably give you more info; but I'm not!

It's well worth the money - REALLY SIMPLE TO DO - and class for banging about your domestic work.
