love the pic. I once used a 60ft tucker pole on a four star hotel, took all day and my arms wanted to drop off at the end of it.
Then I splashed out a thousand on an ionics pole and that was the turning point going from aluminium to carbon. Still got my original ionics pole but don't use it as far too wide base handle to hold comfortably and too heavy but would have been lossed at the time without it as gardiners didn't exixt back then.
I was one of the fortunate 10 windies to try out the superlite poles before they went on sale and gave my genuine opinion on using it and then upgraded from maverick fishing poles to the sl 2 modular poles which are still the best on the market with the exception of the extreme poles.
