Just starting wfp from trad. Chap near me had Gardiner CLX - couldn't believe how light it was. That's the way I'm going.

Just ordered 27' CLX, unfortunately reg length 18' out of stock.

gardiners poles. yes. best on the maket at the momment. 18f clx. i wouldnt spent money on a 18f slx because your only saving 100g in waight which isnt much for such a small length. but the flex will be less. if your decide to go higher defo slx.
