That's correct, but if you read the ad it states that I am only selling due to sponsorship. If a company is good enough to sponsor me, then I will happily use their gear. |

I'm not sponsered but have 2 Gis12 Absolutes and would'nt sell one,
Reason being, if I break one I've always got the other as spares just in case it takes a while for spare sections to come,
As for the XK55 I've never seen one on the bank yet but from all the glowing reports I've read they seem to be the tool to have, |

I'm after an XK55 myself, but I think I'll wait till there's a few more around. I'm sure everyone who has bought one of the first batch is very happy with their purchase, but what happens if they break a section? A wait till the next batch comes in?
And as it comes with only a few top kits, many people are going to want to buy extra's - again, if they're not available... |

| The extras they have in stock top kits ect and as for the spares theres a batch comin in may so not too much of a wait or you could do what ive done and buy an xm10 which interchanges with it so ive always got a spare if i need one until the proper one is avaliable. As for it being an advert they dont need an advert they cant produce em quick enuf as it is |

Right guys let me tell you the XK55 is awesome, I have had many a top of the range poles and some get proper hyped up as being something they are not. The XK55 in my opinion is awesome, I abuse my tackle and fish for big fish on the paste and this is by far the best pole I have held and used. It has an amazing finish that does not stick to your hands when shipping, it is very strong and stiff enough for anyone. It is a proper fishermans pole, not a poseurs pole like some out there. If I give it the thumbs up it is good trust me I have had some **** expensive poles, some that fold when striking etc.
The Xk55 is made in Italy where they know how pole work and how to make them not in Korea or China where its cheap and cheerful with an expensive graphic finish.
If you want a pole that looks cosmetically good and as light as a feather what has no carbon in its walls that will break every week this is not your pole. It does what it says on the tin, and will outlast most of the poles that cost twice as much.
Steve Gregory.

Would they dare say otherwise? Speedy ranted and raved about this pole then went to Shimano and now uses an Aspire.
I said before its a good pole for 1200 quid. |

Better than the Aspire??
I've got a Trilogy, had the xk up against that. Trilogy better balanced, stiffer, lighter. Strength wise there's not a lot in it but got a lot of faith in the Trilogy.
The xk is one hell of a pole for 1200 quid, but there's a reason why the Aspire, Airity etc cost over 2k. |

| And that reason is that people like you pay stupid money for em when you can get something equally as good for less. My mate owns an aspire and him saying its as good as 1 is his words not mine |

| People like me? Nice one. I work hard and save up for a decent pole and won't buy one until I'm sure its right for me. My Trilogy cost £1700 of my stupid money for the full 9 kit package. Probably the same as you'll have to spend to get the xk package to 9 kits. |
