Don't know about x line but have you got any other poles?
I've been through ionic (all of them) and Gardiners SLX & extreme.
Between the 2 company's the extreme is the best at 50'.
I can't see other companies making a better pole when they have less money on R&D
Have a look on companies house, see what ionic and Gardiners are turning over, where is x line in comparison?
Flawed logic? Perhaps.
But it works for me.
Why are you considering a pole you've got little experience with?
To save money, I assume?
For me a 50' pole will last 5 years.
Divide the cost by 60 (5 yearsx12 months)
How much are you really saving by taking a punt?
