Sure people do but after they try something a lighter they will normally have a range of different poles.For new starters this is not always an option and will go with the one size fits all option.I would start with a 17' xtel, good short closed length light enough and will manage most domestics. I would then buy a older carbon fishing rod to get you up to 30'In 6 years of water fed I have tried a lot of poles but these are the ones that seen to work best for me.Your gonna love it mate!Lee

Sign of a good product if it sells out, facelift poles used to be the same.

Not really.Most of these poles are manufactured in Finland and come to the UK shipped in a container. The small suppliers simply cannot afford to stock enough. They need to sell x amount and then reorder from the manufacturer, which obviously takes time.I suppose as they grow their business Gradiners will be able to afford more stock

Makes me laugh how people on here think Alex Gardiner needs their advice. LOL. If I was half as successful as him I would be a happy man.Too many of you lot think you're the next Alan Sugar the way you go on!
Dazmond, reading some of your other posts, you're worrying far too much about your customers on switchover. I was the same. But 99% of them will be fine. You will always get the odd one no matter what you do. I found this hard to except but you just cant please everyone, it's impossibe. Once you get into wfp you'll rarely trad.
Your wrong. You won't find better customer service than Gardiners.
