Tiller Extentions!

   Ok. What is everones favorite tiller extension? Specially made carbon ones, carbon fishing rods, glass fibre fishing rods, garden canes, aluminium ones, plastic tubing reinforced with another plastic tube (will and his cherub Aquamarina) or any other suggestions?
I gotta go with the carbon ones, they seem to have more feel, but do snap a bit though!

	I personally like "RED WOLF" carbon tiller extensions, got a very nice silver fade paint scheme.

	the red wolves were originally designed as landing nets but seem a bit over engineered for that! I don't know if we have any keen fisherman(or woman) in this forum but why does the landing net handle have to be so light?! Seems a bit pointless to me, specially as the cast iron screw fitting in the end weighs more than the pole itself!

	The best have to be - the home made kevlar tiller - weighs nothing, less snappable than a carbon one and can be home made for under a fiver for two - used by quite a few 14s!

	I love my rooster carbon tiller and extension on the Laser, givs so much more feel than that alloy ones. I also say it beats the Laser supplied XD carbon sticks too (just MHO). Enables me to get the horse lower and use less tension on it. Paul

	ah yeah, i found out in the cutting off that the end was the heavy bit! i considered sanding a little of the paint off to cut weight too......

	I must say that i had sum super sexy carp handels on my cherub, but the rooster ones on my 49er are also rather shibby! They seem to grip better in my paw, or perhaps my new 99p gardening gloves with that added grip help?!!
