Bought 3 poles from them, all had issues of some description and been replaced with no quibble and quickly too. Maybe I just got lucky?
I have 2 ha2 alloy poles, and think they are fantastic value for money. The 18ft is light enough and robust enough for even someone as clumsy as me.
It seems that because the majority of products on the market are not purpose built for our business, merely adapted to do a job, that all suppliers suffer from a bad reputation.
It is staggering that no1 has actually come up with a pole that is lightweight, good clamps, non-spinning, wear resistant....oh the holy grail!! Bike seat clamps and fishing poles and bits of tube and araldite...seems thats our lot!
