Mike, at around £70 the Gangster is a class pole; I used it today (with two sections of the Zensorflex) to get to around 35 foot; easy; no problems.

Have you got a link to the other pole?

[elite mike]

hi tosh

2 links ,this one at 39.99  www.dpfishingtackle.co.uk/poles.html

and this one  www.mullarkeys.co.uk/fishing/poles-and-accessories/carp-and-match-fishing-poles/0/grandeslam/8294/

looks like a good deal

[s.w.c]

i made one recent, i took section 3a cut it down to take plastic screw thread , it gave me a total pole of 24ft 5inches just from the gangster with out adding other section to make it bigger see photos.

You need to check the elastic rating, the higher the number the stronger the pole will be and probably stiffer too. Elastic rating of 20 is one of the strongest i believe.

How do you get that red brush to fit on that pole....

[s.w.c]

yea right what plonker would use a brush like that, that's the patio broom, i use Alex double trim on it.

I've got one of those brushes jetted for use!

I used it on a green mouldy building. 

[s.w.c]

for really bad mucky cleans i got some old ionics crinkle brushes they a magic for them

There are dozens of poles out there that may be better value for money, buy both and do a comparison for us

What's the weight & elastic rating of the Grandslam pole? It is carbon fibre right?

I cracked a section on my pole today,.. can't find a replacement section in Ireland, so its time to buy a new one!!

not sure if its cf but the elasticicity is up to 16 on the grandeslam

the gangster is between 
- Elastic rating: 6–18.
- Weight: approximately 1100g

There's a similar pole on ebay, but its 2kg,.. thats why i'd be suspicious of the grandeslam at that price! Let us know your verdict if you do get one tho!

hi nat in the end  i got the rt musclezone 11mtr pole from these guys   £58.99 delivered 

  www.trevstackle.com/products/Ron_Thompson_Muscle_Zone_11M_Pole-4886-705.html

i have just got it prepared for work tomorow, its a bit heavier than the gangster,

but not much.  i am very suprised how rigid it is, for the money its a bargain

Whats the working height of it now that it's finished.
