I'm looking for a really good one which is light, preferably telescopic, extends long enough to use down very high banks and strong enough to cope with the abuse I always give my tackle. Suggestions please.
As a matter of interest, why do folk slag this handle off?
Another vote for the Drennan.
What impressed me was the brass screw insert, far better than stainless steel, which is soft and wears too easily. Sadly, it's a bit too long to fit sideways in the boot, but I'll just have to suffer that
Then pray explain why all my stainless steel threads have worn out and the brass ones haven't?.er... unlike every other bit of brass (soft) and stainless steel (hard) that I have ever come across ...
I think it's because brass is inherently self lubricating and stainless steel ain't.
Now you could both be very right. But there are some very soft SS around and these threads aren't all accurate (IMO) when they're made up.Brass should give less friction and so might last longer despite being softer
...............i use non-allergenic titanium threads on an old broom handle, which is also useful as it floats and can be used to fend off cows.
