Its great to see the prices dropping, no need to spend loads on a modular, I have said in the past that there are other good makes out there- just that the F16 was one I trialled and could reccomend because you will always be able to get spare sections. Smithys had his older style Maver ? The M16 is stronger in some ways than the F16.
John showed me his pole and although there is slightly more flex/give in the sections when you press them he assures me that its stronger longtitudely. The price is a less than the £300 for an M16 so well done John if your going to tell all.
He did post the make sometime ago but nobody picked up on it :
