New (old) pole for canal fishing...DAM Tectron

This week I've taken delivery of a pair of DAM Tectron poles.

Its obviously a risk buying such an old pole, but as the fella had 2 to sell with quite a few spares I figured I'd have enough sections to cover some breakages. One of them seems to have been a spare and is pretty much mint.

The top 3's will need re-elasticating, so I haven't had a chance to give it a test run yet....

Are they as good as everyone says?

Poles like this are becoming harder to find but the one you bought is a dream to use as half the thickness as most poles around,I ve had carp to 12ib on mine using 8-10 elastic
