I was 60 this year and thought i would treat myself to a new pole ( £700-£900).
This was in august.
I have had my currant pole ( shimano exage ax) for 10yrs and also bought 2 extra spare top kits for it.This making 6 in total which is plenty for me.
The pole is still in really good condition so i am in no rush to change it.
I have been up to angling direct at sheffield (used to be climax tackle) a couple of times and looked in their pole alley.
I went yesterday and tried the Diwa C3,C4,G50,MAP 401,MAVER OCULUS999,maver definition.
As far as i could tell there was very little difference at 13m between any of them.None of them felt particularly light either but i am not exactly a body builder either.
There was also another fella looking for the same range of poles so we had a chat (as you do ) and he was of the same opinion as me.
All i came away with was backache and being more confused than when i went in.
None of the poles jumped out at me at all so i have come to the conclusion i might as well keep the exage.
Am i being picky or am i right that there is not much difference in the poles in that price range.
