The prolong is very heavy but the hydra is the new lighter version!

If you are happy to write a £500 pole off in 1-2 years Ewan, why did you gripe so much about the cost of carbon poles?

As Carbon Fibre is the right choice of material for wfp’s using any other material regardless of length of pole is going to cost you more in the long term.

The prices should come down as more CF poles are sold and seeing that’s where all the development has been for the past 2 years sort of proves this.

Nope  c/f comes into its own above 30ftish,alumimium is fine below that height and more robust, there is nothing wrong with the cheap Harris pole.
The prices cannot come down until the aerospace industry stops buying up all c/f stock
