Never had a problem with them.
Poles have lasted well although I've now moved onto Gardners.
But some on here will say otherwise.

we've used brodex poles for years, still got my original 25ft cobra carbon which is now over 3 years old, is used every day for about 90% of my work - can't fault it, I take care of the poles and wipe down the tubing each time it goes back in the van but even so, it has been superb.

the rest of my boys all use the newer brodex carbon and they are all very happy with them.

had a look at the link though and that pole is glass fibre - can't say what it would be like but I'd pay the extra for carbon

its glass fibre for the shorter sections and carbon for the longer, giving best of both worlds til i can afford a carbon fibre one.

"The shorter length poles are constructed from glass fibre for strength and durability and, as the poles get longer, they are constructed from Carbon fibre, making for lightweight, rigid poles."


It is saying that the shorter POLES are FG and the longer POLES are CF.
Poles not sections.

I've still got one of the old yellow FG 30ft poles. still very used, never had a problem with it. for £95 i'd say you can't go wrong.
