trad poles and fishing poles ??
« on: August 02, 2009, 07:50:36 am »
i use a pulex 6metre aluminium pole with a wagtail flipper fixed to the top. his works well (bit heavy tho!)but i want to go higher . whats you guys experience of fishing poles  at around  8 metres? how thick are these at the end ? 

to get a useable  8m pole is it necessary to buy an 11 m pole and  not use the thinner bits?

i do go over frames with a fixi clamp on pole with microfibre cloth to mop up the drips.only give them a good scrub as an extra tho.then i use a sponge in clamp and charge accordingly.regards

a fishing pole will take the unger end, which is a great start

the 11 M pole will be about 8 M usable pole, if its a tough short, get the 8 M pole aswell and use the last 2 sections ( the base sections ), the 8 M pole is only 20 quid, so not going to break the bank

ah i see , maybe best to buy  two 8m poles and make one(approx 11m. ) from the two?

 im hoping a fishing pole  will  pole a wagtail flipper(18inch) allrite .

no, you will need the 11 M to make a 8M pole

and if its a touch short you can get a 20 quid 8M pole to use the last 2 sections
