Ordered a 18' and a 27'. I only used glassfibre poles before, wow what a difference. I mainly use an 18' extel day in and day out, getting a lighter salmon brush as opposed to the oval Vikan it came with made it a lot better, but the CLX is just awesome. After picking up the 27' it took me some will power not to jump all over my 30' fibreglass facelift pole. I might take a hammer to it tomorrow !!
