Thank you for the imformation it was very helpful.

Phoned Shimano today and they were very helpful was told the max rating is 20 elastic.

Just like to say a few things about the pole:

1, The pole is as straight as a needle at full lenght 8.5 mt - no drooping
2, It must be one of the lightest margin poles I've ever held at only 400g
3, It is very well balanced and easy to handle
4, It has an easy glide finish to it, which makes it easy to ship wet or dry
5, The pole has a very stiff action
6, Top kits and an extention are available too!
7, It is supposed to be as strong as the earlier money - perhap even stronger

To tell the honest truth I think this is one of the best margin poles you can buy. RRP £119 but you can find them available for £109

Hope this is of help to anyone who may be interested in buying one.
