If someone told you, you could earn a extra tenner a day, x 5 days a week x 48 weeks, if you handed them over £100, would you think is was worth it?

Clx 18 is a nice little pole but I'd still go slx if you are going to use it more than an hr a day as the rigidity of the slx makes working with it better than the Clx ( we have both, happy with both of them)

I suppose the clanps falling off issue has been sorted by now?
Probably a year ago when I bought a CLX and less than a month and the clamps fell off.  Gardiners sent me some glue.....still got it?!
Swapped the CLX for something else with a mate......he reglued the clamps....sanded the section and used some other glue...he likes it...no more problems.

You swapped your CLX for something else?????????

You'd better pray it was another Gardiner pole mate before their fan club pop around to sort you out lol!!!!
Come and talk dirty to us!!!

a clx 18 is sooooo light mate, lighter than most fishing rods i think, feels like a little stick in your hand :-) but i tell you what its a cracking pole, my missus uses one and its the best i have seen

For some jobs I would say CLX  poles are a bit  too good. Bit like using a ferrari to go to tescos.. For basic estates a Harris pole is cheap easy and durable. It might be nicer to have a CLX and for the more demanding jobs they are the dogs do-das.
But when its simple, keep it simple.

Harris pole has a weight of 1080g, (taken off the thread fitting). It extends to 5m.

The CLX 18 has a weight of 1050g. Extends to 5.2m

I think they were from cleaning spot but will look into it again they had to be modified a fair bit to fit the pole i will try and get some photos of the mods. The small one had to be bored out a little and opened out a bit on the bottom of it very hard to explain i basically got them and made them fit lol i should make one up and sell it lol only problem clamps were £27 pole about 15 u mite aswell buy clx ;D im going clx
