All three poles are good. I use the Tournament Pro and am generally very happy with it. The larger sections have a finish that is not very conducive to shipping, polishing them can help but after a few fish and grounbait etc on the hands they get to be 'sticky' again. In comparison to the mavers the daiwa is a more robust pole, everyone breaks sections but amongst my cohort at least the mavers seem to get broken more often. If you go for any new pole at the moment you may have to wait, the story in the trade is that the Chinese are buying all the carbon cloth output but this may be nonsense. Your decision, however, may depend on how soon you want the pole and if it is in stock. Personally I would go for the Tournament, about ?2050 on the net at the moment.
