Has anyone tried both,what are your opinions?
I need only 13m, but real 13m (international rules!)

My fishing buddy has an XK55 and it is absolutly amazing mate, stiff and light, and very strong. Personally i would go for the Garbo options, due to the fact spares for middy are like hens teeth and you’ll struggle to get any until middy sort themselves out.

international rules? are you overseas? if so, a big factor has to be spares and back up in your area.

I am from Serbia. Garbolino and Middy dealer are my good friends, so that is the best solution for me. But the didnt import Garbolino M3 and any Middy pole… so I neeed to order polewithout seeing them! That is a main problem!

The only reason I didn’t buy a Middy XK55 was the package, once I had bought another 4/5 top kits to get it up to the same package as most flagship poles on the market it was the same price – so I decided to stick with one of the bigger companies as spares would be easier to get.

middy with extra top 4 and top 5 has the same price like Garbolino M3…
but I can buy very cheap XM 10 for a safety pole… Garbolino doesnt have something like that…
