Title: pole recommendations
Post by: concept on June 23, 2009, 08:17:31 am: what pole would you recommend for occasional 3rd floor useage? the usual....lightweight, not too whippy...

will probably have a fair few townhouses on my round, and want to be able to do them comfortably.

if you have a decent 2nd hand one, please let me know.

Post by: Neil Williams on June 24, 2009, 09:42:46 pm: As you said 'occassion' 3rd storey work then go for the Brodex GF
I used them for years and I'm now well into my 40's
In time though you will go for CF but until then the 24ft brodex will do you.
