Hi im new to this forum and would really appreciate some advice...i am currently looking to purchase either of the following poles: SHIMANO EXAGE AX COMPETITION 14.5M POLE or the GARBOLINO SUPER LEGION 16M. i have read really good reviews on both of the above sub £500 poles. im asking for your advice and opinions on which one i should purchase and reasons for your opinions. Or if there is another pole i should consider, with a price range £500 or below/14.5 meters and above/all rounder. Your replies would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Shane.

Hi mate

I think you might be getting your Legions mixed up.

You won't get a NEW Super Legion for £500, they are about £1250.

The Garbolino Premier Legion is £499 @16m it is a very good up to 14.5m and good value pole for the money.
Not tried the Shimano Exage but heard it is also a very good pole.

thanks for your replies, question for aka and golden...is the exage pole fishable at 14.5 metres, or too heavy?

AKA · 7th May 2007, 02:58 PM

yes mate fishable. i havnt done it for longer than 4 hours but no probs and still nice and stiff.

shrimpy all poles are hard work at 14m but i can say it is as good as any other pole i have used at that length it is still stiff yes i would say it is well manageable Exage AX Competition 1450 - Reviews type this into google and read the reviews
