  Looking for an extension for a pro. I seem to remember that guys on here identified a section from another make that fit.
  
  Don’t really want the expence of purpose made as may only be used once per year.
  
  Any ideas

  There are the Daiwa TPX and SGPX sections but they are expensive. The 14.5m MAP Lumphammer section is the correct size but hard to get hold of. I have been told the Garbolino Executioner 14.5m section will also fit. The Middy Feature Reacher universal extension can be cut down to fit and only costs Â£40.

  Rive is great pat, found the wheels kit to wide for some venues I fish, so put bags on old trolly and carry box.
  
  Converted the long feeder rest into a top kit roost.
  
  Just bought 6 lengths of alloy tube and made 700mm adjustable legs, (back problems struggling to reach trays!)
  
  Sent a mate the picture of the other you had for sale but not herd from him.
  
  Thanks for the info on the extention, I have the t.pro which only gets used about ten times a year as I use a Spectron for most of my fishing. One venue has weedbeds which can produce 50lb+ of skimmers if you can reach (19m)with carp averaging 16lb.just a bit much for the speccy.

  Iknow you probably wont use a section that takes your pole beyond 16 m very often but think about this,the TPX section costs about Â£300 the daiwa 16m sections are parralel so you could use in theory as many as you like.
  The pukka 16m sections for a tourney pro retail at close to Â£440 pounds.
  So sticking a Â£60 butt section up the back of your tourney pro that was designed to be used as the 14m section on a much inferior pole doesnt seem like a good idea.
  question is do these butt sections bend when used at extreme lengths? if not then quiet rightly why pay a fortune for a pukkA extension.
  Any one out there able to shed any light on the subject.

  I dont make a habbit of fishing 17.5 or 19m often and would never fish at 21m again. I run Daiwa G8s and to be honest they do droop quite a lot and feel pretty unresponive at 17.5m+. From a personal point of view I think you would struggle to tell the differance when using these extensions. If anything the cheaper ones are slightly thicker walled and possibly a bit stronger so you are less likely to damge them on the strike. If you want a better answer Nathan Watson or Pete Bailey will be able to tell you. I think they will say it does not really matter much though.
