CWH.I had the Alpha match as a kid,kind of a translucent
tangerine colour,looked really good back then,so good i saved up my sunday paper round money & bought myself
a matching Shakespear "polyestel" telescopic whip.I thought
i looked really cool(early tackle tart),till one day the cap
came off & the sections came flying out into the front
wheel spokes of my Raliegh chopper.NOOOOOOOOOOOO
OOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(slow motion)NO-NOT MY
crappity smackING BRAND NEW MOTHER crappity smackING poyestel whip!!!!!
DRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!(sound of sections splintering
-not unlike a woodchipper) ,i then got catapulted over the
handlebars & landed in a load of nettles & there where no doc-leaves about "i only ever broke one shakespeare section"
But it was my fault
I did consider sending it to Scott

CWH - Had loads of problems with my Antares breaking too - broken a couple of 4's, 7th, 8th and 9th in cross winds - fell on all my top kits at March too!! Thought it was just me being heavy handed.

Daiwa Tom Pickering's first named pole 12m

The tpp120, the first good pole i had

Silstar Powerwind 12.5 mtrs. Never ever did fish it at that length….11 was as much as I wanted to hold.
Shakespeare GLX (?) 11 mtrs. Whatever the name and model no, it wasn’t readily available in the country (I believe)It wasn’t a bad pole and I flogged it to Goughy - he might remember the actual details.
Next up was a Shimano SFX 11 mtr pole - which got nicked along with 9 other whips.
Replacement pole some 9 months later - I’d temporarily decided to call it day after the theft was a Daiwa TD Matchlight (I think) 11mtr
This too went walkies……….
Replacement 'main' pole then was a more up market  Daiwa WTP Connoisseur 12.5 mtrs. Lasted me a decade or more until I gave it away to a budding upcoming Cashmores ‘youngster’
Browning Champions Choice 12.5 mtr
Shimano Exage 14.5 mtr
Browning Sting 14 mtr
DAM Macton 14.5 mtr
Another DAM Macton 14.5 mtr
