Default Pole Alley

After reading the advice on this forum regarding buying a new pole, I realise I need to visit a shop with a pole alley to compare poles side by side. Can anyone recommend a shop with a good pole alley with a good selection of up to date poles? I live in Torquay but am willing to travel. I'm looking for an all round pole in the £500 price range. Any advice greatly appreciated, thanks.

Ps - I have been in Exeter Angling

Not sure about Bristol, I've been Bristol angling and they haven't got pole alley. I phoned Fosters and spoke to Ade, I have ordered a Sensas Crazy Power 424 14.5m pole. Gotta say that the service Fosters provide is amazing, Ade really went out of his way to help me and nothing was to much trouble. He even gave me discount on some other stuff I bought although my local tackle shop which I have spent thousands in over the years won't even knock a couple of quid off!

Top service from Fosters

he sure can Larry.

If you are going to fosters they carry nearly every pole made and they are very helpful.
