« on: March 30, 2013, 01:52:04 pm »
ive been thinkin of buying a few clx 18s due to how cheap they are so the slxs 25 n 30 dont get bashed around as much do the 18ft poles reach over connys and extension

Not really - the CLX/SLX 22 is a better compromise.
It's a game of three halves!

I can reach over most of mine with an 18 if I go from the side
But from the front I usually get the 22 out
Thanks,

I cant think of a conny on my round my 18ft slx wont reach over.
I do think that a clx22 would be more beneficial though as its not quite so rigid as a slx.

I also use an 22 and can even reach 3 floor windows.Good pole I use mine more that my slx.

22slx all the way then if the end splits you can cut it back to good carbon to stop the split running further. And its still long enough to reach over a standard 3m or 4m conservatory ;-)
