Bumper, I spent 3yrs using fibre glass poles, not knowing that the carbon stuff was out there. They look expensive but they are revolutionising wfp in the way that wfp has done for window cleaning. In terms of investment and return these poles are fantastic.
If you are genuinly skint, go for the clx (which are good poles), but if you have any spare cash get yourself a carbon gardiner pole, they are the mutts nuts, and will pay for themselves in no time at all.
I have a slx-30 and a clx 14. Next on the list is slx-22.
Actually ignore all that, I have got some very nice very cheap 25ft fibreglass poles, as well as a lovely 35 footer. They look great and will only put your back out a little bit. Well worth it, I reckon....
