@@chris63506 oof would you say its your own fault for pulling to hard? Or would any pole have gone like that, im debating between the x5 or the drennan acolyte
@@dennyb965it was the clean brake, as I cut it with a sharp saw. So unfortunately a manufacturer fault. The X5 been a great pole for me, used it a lot. And the customer service was great.... not waiting six months for a section.
1 of my club members as got1 only used it 10times&the 5section as slip😢&he took it back to Bob co&they sent for new section&that came back broken. Gr8 for a pole of that price 😮
Must be strong poles. Nick speed fishing for big barble on river in x7. Thats the truest test with big flat floats. You wouldn't catch daiwa air airirty or air z owners doing that
Good video what Nick Speed done, but the Guru lads did the same. Look what Will Raison does with his kit, I think they are stronger than what people think. But too expensive compared to the competition in my opinion.
Chris i dare you try breaking the middy xtreme M3 or M2 on a fish.
Different tools, the M2 and M3 aren't 16 metre poles?
See link on the Middy 10 metre pole;

@@chris63506 great margin poles .. M3 does go to 13 metrs but its pretty heavy.

Middy did source great poles to be fair.
Hows the pole been over time? Any issues yet

I broke the number 4, Shimano replaced it straight away. Happy days

Unfortunately things do get missed by all companies.
Could of got broke by the couriers?
All sorted now?

has this replaced your maver pole?
No mate. Will use my MVR4 for most of my "normal fishing".
Great test unlike a lot of reviews! Do your Maver kits fit on the Shimano or vice versa.
@@paulstacklereviews1695 yeah mate and Browning top kits!!
You will also find the sphere dolly butt fits the pole as well
@@chris63506good pole looks,but like you have r4 love mine, still find my pro
900 better 👍
Don't suppose you know what Shimano are like for spares .
Hopefully I won't have to find out ......
