Hi Shawn,

yes we are doing a modular superlight carbon fibre pole.

We have just taken delivery of an initial batch of these poles and are placing them, at a very reduced price, with 10 people to get feedback from the end users.

If you are interested in this trial then give us a ring on 01726 61143 or drop us an email on sales@gardinerpolesystems.co.uk.

You can check out the specs on this pole on our website.

We have nearly filled the 10 places already for the trial run.

 hi there i am seriously thinking of starting a round in north cornwall.
 whereabouts are you in newquay and do you have a showroom/shop?

[Alex Gardiner]

Hi Propole,

we haven't had time yet to get any Photos done of these poles, they are still in the packaging, we will work on that soon though.

Hi Jodan,

We are in the St.Austell area, we don't have a showroom/shop as we work mainly by mail-order, but if you give kirsty a ring on 01726 61143 she could schedule an appointment for you to come over (she has to work on an appointment basis as she is very busy).

You can read the short history of the new modular poles here.http://d.co.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=194&sid=70e18d03e557c046f06cd6009f265028
They are absolutely superb and are tomorrows tool, today. 
Just like any new equipement you need to take time to get used to the different way of using them. 7 years ago I tried in vain to get people using backpacks, at last they are taking off. Ditto these new poles.
Do not expect or wait for them to come down in price though because there is a world shortage of  carbon fibre and they seem to rise in price quarterly.
"Featherlight" and effortless.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the interest so far in our trial run on the superlight poles.

I will reply and get in contact with all those that have sent me the details so far and posted above. At this time it seems that we have enough interest to fill the 10 spaces, but will post again if we have any vacancies left.

After a month's trial we will hope to be selling them retail in sizes ranging from 32ft to 58ft.

As Jeff has commented prices of carbon fibre are extremely volatile due to the stranglehold that the Japanese have on the market and prices seem to be rising by about 15% per month. Currently the retail price of these units is recommended by the manufacturer at £630 for the 45ft, that is if you bought them as Competition Carp Poles from a retailer-just for the pole sections.

Even after the trial we will be selling the complete package (pole sections, end caps, quick release gooseneck, lightweight brush, hose, pole control valve, and carry-case) for a lot less than this.

Somebody sponsor me and I will try the featherlight at that height, its only 20 6ft sections. 
Where do you find these things Joe.

[Alex Gardiner]

Thanks for that Jouk, looks a little bulky for my taste!!

Propole, drop us an email on alex@gardiner.e7even.comalex@gardiner.e7even.com with your contact details and I can email you back with all of the details.

hi alex

can you send me a picture of the superlite .. ?

shawn

[Alex Gardiner]

Hi Shawn,

Lets see if this works, it is quite difficult to show a 45ft pole fully extended but I have tried.  I had to hold the pole with one hand and take the shot with my other, thank goodness it's a super-lite!

One of the shots shows the pole in packed up form.











Hope this works.
