Had mine for nearly a year now and still think its the best pole on the market when you consider everything including the price of extra kits, spares availbilty and overall performance. I wont be selling mine until a z10 or z11 comes along – and i used to change poles and brands every spring. Theres no need to as it hasnt worn, broken, jammed, let me down or just pissed me off in any way. At least 2 shop owners near me have bought them for there own use which must be a good sign.
Just measured a match kit and its 2.65m with the tip out. Like Craig I use mine like that with a big sensas internal fitted and have had everything through it.
I was at Colemans cottage fishery in Essex a few times last summer and they were doing really good deals on them and there were lots of them being used on the fishery.
I thought the cupping kit with it was the only crap thing as was strong but very heavy – didnt bother to use it.
