Gardiner CL-X water fed pole

I been using a CL-x water fed pole recently,this is Gardiner's entry level pole and is a Carbon fibre/glass fibre composite it features the horizontal clamps which help the pole close down to a short length of about five feet and makes the pole easy to extend and close.For the price it is a fairly light and stiff pole,there are other poles they make which are manufactured in carbon fibre and are much lighter and stiffer but are considerable more expensive and would be worth the invest.For value for money for £180 for CL-X 27 is 10/10
