Can't use it on a windy day - Gaz you don't half spout some rubbish I use a thirty foot Xtreme every day for every job there's no need for anything else in my opinion. My second pole is another extreme set up for forty feet plus. Hardly ever gets used. Take the gooseneck off and any silly Aquadapters and you will be flying, oh, and fit a swivel.
IMO mick its worth the extra IF the pole lasts say 2 years.id be happy to buy a new extreme every 2 years as they are so light and rigid!i defo noticed a lot less strain on all work even though the slx is a great pole.nothing beats the extreme for ease of use.however if your heavy handed and have staff i would stick to the clx/slx range.the extreme is only for the sole trader who is working all day poling IMO.best wishesdazmond
I have one too and my previous main pole was a slx25. It is a lot lighter and less strain across the shoulders/back.One downer is the inside diameter of the section 1 is too narrow to take the other goosenecks {standard swivel ones from Gardiners} that I already have so it looks like I will have to buy some new ones and go down the quicklock route.Great pole though.
