i know what you mean its like. is a bmw realy built beter than a bentley ,
most people know what a bently is just by lookin
but will actually buy a bmw becase they can aford it i know if i spent over a grand on a pole i would be frightened to use it in anger ........
imagine the door getting shut buy a freak gust just as you are loading it in to your van and crack
i would be frightened to look
it happened to a salmon rod off mine once 450 quid gone in two seconds and fifty f,,ks
i could have repaired it if it were a glass fiber rod but with carbon its game over
