The best poles for us are the thicker smooth ones called composites, the new style lighter ones are thinner, ideal for fishing but quite fragile.
Over to you Jeff.  ;D

Composites ok for lower heights but not for 60ft. 16m gives you 42ft your three extra extn sectionsx 5ft 5" = approx 57ft so its the height you need, the M16 will do it with a light brush.Yes you will need to take care, keep the pole as vertical as possible when assembling and moving.Slide the back of the brush up and down the wall. Yes the moderns are thinner but stiffer if you have composite they would bend too much at that height, the brush bristle angle needs to be adjustable to almost vertical, clean on the upstroke rinse on the down.Its the top sections that bend so use c/f except for the tip.

The Grandslam is cheaper than the cheshire fishing "gangster" its the same length and the same number of sections.Dont know how good it is because I need to feel the poles.But for the price it looks ok, the bit you adapt to take a brush is the 6th object from the left in the pic, the items on the left of it you dont need and you may get some discount. It should end up being a 28ft actual pole, so with say 4ft reach it will do 31-32ft-sorry its imperial  :-\ The history of the poles is over on Matt (that was banned) DIY forum, you will have to google it as I would get banned if I posted a link to this classified  info  :o Post is called "Merry Christmas" as thats the time of year I gave all the info free to you all.

Yep thanks Lewis, mate. Yep stackable so dont take up much space, on the 16m ones they stack in the 16m after you have taped them up to stop compression in use. If anyones going to the fed show theres a good chance that Brodex will be there with their take on the fishing poles, so a really good time to have a free feel  ;)
