Hi there wifter, i have brodex alloy, good all round heavy duty pole if you have staff, but, personally i prefer Tucker. Brodex seem hard wearing & have good warranty, i have 2, but have reduced the 30ft to 25?ft, (theres are pole length , some companies give pole reach if i remember.), because of the weight issue with them.
Ihave Ionics, Tucker & Brodex & mine & my staff would always be Tucker, most people use carbon fibre now, so cant comment on them as we only use carbon above 45ft & both are Ionics, but iam very disappointed with the 60ft one.
