did have a look at the ionics stuff yesterday seems pretty decent stuff there. im going to get the one that will last and do a good job for us as im doing more high level jobs now it needs a good pole on it.
The swift+ is the best pole I've ever had.
All their other poles are inferior to Gardiners IMO.
@50' ionic is slightly heavier but it feels solid. And in use, the weight is negligible.
The commercial head has a better scrubbing power but is quite a lot heavier.
Like I say, if there's even a chance you'll want to go higher, get the extreme.
If you want to stop @ 50', get the swift+.
