just wondering if they are any good?  I can't get a hold of anyone at Gardiners either.

I got one and I love it, best advice i can give is try some of the other fibre glass heavier poles with a vikan brick on the end, then buy one of these.......champion. ;)

Tapered glass fibre is lighter than the CLX but I agree about the vikan  :'(

just wondering if they are any good?  I can't get a hold of anyone at Gardiners either.

Strengths:

Stiff
Light
Strong

Weaknesses:

You'll get carbon dust ingrained into your fingers if you don't wear gloves.
Some people seem to suffer clamp glue failure - not me though
One of the clamp levers on mine broke (yesterday.  One of the few items I don't have a spare for!)

I'd never consider anything else as a day-to-day pole, to be honest, except possibly the 22 or 25ft versions.  

As to the cost, look at it this way, even if it only lasted a year it'd be under a quid a day.

I knew that.  To get that wrong I'd have to be a total idiot.  Oh yes.  Oh yes, indeed.

I m gonna try get my hands on a 18 foot clx in the next batch

However for a larger pole ie 27/35 foot , are the clx's still worth whiile or should i just get full carbon?
the elite looks good , 35 foot slx is steep £££
