Fair point Beecy, didnt think of that
Im all for starter poles but this particular one doesnt sound the best. Just to compare, a pole I bought 18 years ago, albeit a little more expensive, was only 780gms at 11m. The one you are after is 1089, that is not light.
Following on from Beecy thoughts the Daiwa yank and bank margin pole is a belter, its 10.5m but only 700gram and strong as an Ox, pretty stiff, an ideal starter pole. It wil be made from a far greater spandrel than the Middy.
I think its around £135 for the 10.50m but if you shop around you might get it £120.00, if you cant afford that then it is sold in the 8m length and you can get it for around £100.00
So under your budget.......
