Yet another superb pole from the guys at Tri-Cast. The Iconic uses the same technology as the fearsome Trilogy Pro 2 that we rated so highly.
Packed with features and supplied with a great spares package, the Iconic Pro is a super-stiff pole with bags of strength. Well worth checking out!RRP: £1,549.
