        Need advise please. If you had a price limit of about 2 grand what pole would you buy and why?

                  A G10 cos if Pete Bailey uses his all the time then it must be the best pole as he has bought all the others !

                    the new Drennan Zircon 16m
                    tremendous pole
                    tremendous package

                    see this months Match Fishing for a short review of it

                    but, as always it depends on you & what the poles feel like to you, I’m sure the longer this post stays here you’ll get more and more peoples personal opinions

                    best advice get yourself to a pole alley & have a waggler of those in the price bracket, then abandon all them & buy the Drennan anyway!!!!!!

                            If Pikey say’s the G10 then thats the jobby, I just hope it don’t end in tears lol No thoughts of waiting to have a look at the new diawa’s then Dave?

                              nope Fred, I’m sure the Daiwa will be an outstanding pole, likewise the G10, but I’m very happy with the Zircon

                                So you should be Dave quality product, there isn’t a world of difference between top of the range poles it just comes down to what suits you at the end of the day, I still think trubucco make damn good poles but then I biased

                                  nowt wrong with a bit of favouritism, we’ve all got it to some extent

                                  was looking in the AT a few weeks ago at the new middy shock core 16m pole, and it occurred to me no matter how good a pole they produced, it still probably wouldn’t get onto my “A” list

                                  might have something to do with their nasty multi-colour graphics
