Trouble is Dave, now that you've gone down the fishing pole route your "hooked" so to speak due to the lighness of the pole - precision cleaning! I would say keep the fishing pole for best and try not to use it everyday but spend some money on a quality everyday pole that's light and indestructable. Wait till the end of January!

Your soon stop being hooked on fishing poles dave when you keep snapping them give it time,the trouble is if you snap the first or second section the rest of the pole is useless until you get a new bit.What i have learned from fishing poles is that there stronger when there repaired.

Dave you do get a good argument with your posts 
What section have you broken, what make, and what height do you want to reach ?

Thanks Mates,

This is what I like about this forum...............a bunch of guys in the same boat as me!!

I asked Tracy about buying a Facelift.............After saying I look Ok as I am
She went ballistic
"£650 on a stick to wash windows with!!!!  If you earn that money spare then do something for US!"  She said.
Love me as she does......she has no idea about my work!

My gut feeling is:

First of all I should get a new section for my fishing pole and DO NOT try to bend it around corners :
Then use it for high or long work only.
I should save up (just as I did for WFP ) and get a nice telescopic Carbon fiber Facelift 34ft which, if I look after it, should last me till I retire (10 - 15 yrs)
If I'm honest - the fishing pole and other modular poles may be lighter but I can't get to grips with sections all over the place

Then there is the thought about my general pole; a Cleantech 3x2mtr (18ft) cut down to about 14 ft :..........................ask you all about that another night

Thanks David
