I will second or third as the case may be , the facelift pole , just got the 44 foot version from Varitech in Plymouth , £821 all in , plus a free pair of sealskinz a free pen and an upgrade to superlite gooseneck , that was about £60 alone !
Fantastic guys , fantastic pole , will be replacing with facelift only from now on .
Cheers for the pointers Macmac , i owe you one .
P.S . Coastline , i have a 39 foot excel with light goose , only used a few times going spare , but it is probably the pole that you saw bending all over the place !
