I would not touch anything from AI/Colnemere with a bargepole. I've had two weigh slings/retention devices from there in the past...they looked good but both totally fell to pieces and the build quality was absolutely shocking.

Cheers. Good to get some insight given this is not a brand I know anything about and had considered a 2nd hand product. Think I will stick ilout for either the Corus or for Nash stock to arrive in the UK

Wait for the bushwhacker, I had the corus before changing to the bushwhacker, it's much easier to use, a well designed spoon stops you accidentally tipping it half way out, no messing about getting the right next section, it goes together easier, and easier to take apart

I had the Corus one at 18 meters plus a couple of extension sections, it was okay to use, I tended to leave 2 or 3 sections shipped together if the swim size allowed for it. I modded an AI spoon by adding some outriggers made from plastic tube filled with expanding foam. This made it easier and much more sturdy than just using basically a landing net float. The only problem I found is that the spot you want is just too far away, hence selling it and joining the dark side of the boating fraternity!!!

The videos make it look very flimsy, is this the case or is it fine to push out and manoeuvre ? Expect a similar case with all poles though if going to use for longer distances

Bushwhacker has been put back until middle of September on the orders for the shops

I had mixed experiences with them, the luggage I'm still using after 12ish years with no defects, but the slings and shelters are long gone.

Making the Corus more attractive as not sure I really want a wait, especially as delivery dates seem to be being pushed back across the board for imports

I prefer dealing with a shop,i have emailed Corus a couple of times and had no reply.It does not fill me with much confidence about their customer service

A bonus is that they are based not too far from me so I can just as easily drive over there if needed. Still completely undecided on this, if the Nash was available I think I would get one of them but don't potentially want to miss a chunk of September by waiting for them to be back in stock. My timing is awful on wanting one

You could always get the Tackle Box 12m pole & extension kit if you need one pronto?

It's fine to push out and manoeuvre, obviously as with all poles it's harder in a crosswind etc, I fine it easier than the corus to manoeuvre as it's a lot lighter at 18m,
The number of times I tipped my corus by mistake trying to faff about finding the right section and twist it in slightly if it was wet especially the bigger sections,

Thank you. Spoke to the Tackle Box earlier and now heavily leaning toward the Nash based on overall feedback with your comments being very helpful
