It would have been useful if the camera guy could get a few shots of what the pole looks like at the longer lengths without it always being hooked into a fish and bending?? All we got was a panned shot of the three silver sections and the usual lengthy vid of trying to land a carp on a light elastic (can you not edit these unnecessary bits?) If you are going to 'test' a pole then try to include aspects of it that a buyer would be interested in such as how stiff it is at 14.5 and 16 metres, whats it like with the phex sections fitted, how it feels compared with the previous G90 and of course the true dimensions given its a Daiwa pole and needs the phex section to make the stated lengths. Sorry for the negative comment, but I think viewers want to visually see the pole being tested at different lengths and not just loads of elastic on a top kit.
Agreed. I'm in the market for a new pole in and around that price bracket and all the 'reviews' are from Daiwa fan-boys with very little actual reviewing!
@@wharfeego Agreed. The first 6 or 7 mins was actually decent info on the sections and top kits of the pole. But the filming of it being used offered no insights as to how it felt at the longer lengths being that Daiwa poles need the phex section added to achieve the stated 14.5 or 16 metre lengths. Would have been useful to have seen footage of shipping out and presenting a float at the longer lengths. At least we could have seen if the pole is a bit saggy or maybe even stiffer than expected. I have found one at atackle shop 30 min drive away, going to wave it about and see for myself.
@@gavingoldthorp4093 Kristian Jones has just posted his review of the G90 Pro. Much better test and gives good angles of him using it at 16m and also his comparison with the older version he owned.
I used a digital vernier caliper and measured the internal diameter of the top kit no3 section which is the same for all the top kits on the G90 Pro. It measured at18.35mm. Hope that helps.
