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.
