What would you recommend out of these two baiting poles.
Ease of use ,cost of extensions etc,and does the corus pack pack away inside itself.
thanks for any help

I was choosing between these and went for the Nash. The corus looks decent and does pack away neater, but the negative of that is that if you damage a section you need to replace that section and won't be able to use the pole until you do. With the Nash all the sections are interchangeable which was the deal breaker for me. So far no major complaints with it. It is difficult to maneuver in high winds, especially if using at length but there is a knack that I'm slowly getting

Yes the Corus does pack away inside itself. If you think that 18m will be long enough then it's a decent pole. Extra sections are available but I don't believe that these will then fit inside each other. Each section is different, so they need to be put together in the correct order.
Bushwacker sections are all the same, baring the handle, so putting it together is a piece of cake. The Bushwacker is bulkier to transport.

I have the corus in 18m and although it does what I need it to do and packs away neatly it does have a tendency to splinter on the sections when shipping in and out , it's not something I use all the time so I can deal with it.
If your going to be using a baiting pole on a regular occasion I would opt for the nash bushwhacker.

100% the Nash.
I've got the telescopic corus and I don't really like it. Not sure if you're looking at the telescopic version, if you are......don't. It's extremely fragile and once shipped out the sections can spin inside each other meaning you can't tip the contents out of the spoon. It only takes one of the sections to spin meaning the whole process needs to be redone. You can combat it (although it's never fool proof) by really pulling and twisting the sections apart when shipping out but then it's a nightmare to unship. Just don't buy one.

Definitely the bushwhacker.
I currently have a Corus 12m take apart, it's ok but a bit of a faff as you really need to make sure the sections are secure when baiting but not so that you have to wrestle them apart when bringing it in!
Borrowed my friends bushwhacker a few weeks back and there really is no comparison, much easier to use so saving the pennies for one now.

One of your considerations should be the availability and cost of extra pole sections. 15 and 18 metres of pole sounds quite a lot until you ship it out into the water and then it doesn't seem so much!
