hi i'm after a pole of minimum length 14.5m but pref 16 for the few times you need it. Preferably with at least 3 or 4 kits at least and anything else you have that comes with ie cupping kits. ideally i'd like a pole without any repairs and generally good condition. The only drawback about this thread is my budget, i can afford tops of about £150 depending on the pole up for sale, so i know that wont get me a lot of pole but perhaps theres someone out there selling a second hand budget pole. The pole will predominantly be used for commercial carping up to low doubles but predominantly up to 5/6lb so needs to be fairly strong. I'm from harrogate in north yorkshire so can pick up or view the pole within 20miles or so or would pay postage costs if it was too far for collection. thanks in advance for any replies. Steve

You will be lucky to get a usable 13m pole for that mate,for a half usable 16m you need a grand.

as i said its mainly to use at 14.5m and the very odd occasion at 16, so thats why i said i was after either a 14.5 or 16m pole. I'm aware that it wont be the best pole on the market but you have to start somewhere, and my current pole is probably heavier and lesser balanced than one of equivalent second hand prices these days due to its age.

Somebody is upgrading and has surplus pole surely!!

i have a 14m shimano super ultegra,the blue one,the last 2 sections have sleeves inside after they were damaged.its perfectly usable at 14m though,couple of top threes only.you can have it for £100 plus postage.

cheers mate, i'll have to think on it, i just google the name of the said pole and nothing came up but ebay adverts, is this an old pole ie will it difficult to get hold of spare sections or replace broken sections? also is it the two butt sections that have benn repaired not a top kit? thanks again

it is an old pole mate and to be honest nigh on impossible to get spares i would probably get more selling it as spares on ebay.but is as good as most of todays £1000 poles AT 14M.anyway have a look around and if your interested pop me a line its not going anywhere

ok, cheers matey, i'll keep you in mind. ta
