    Superglue fumes :lol:

    Carbon technology has come on leaps and bounds in the last ten years especially at consumer level.

    One area where this can be prefectly demonstrated is in match fishing, 10 years ago, truly fishable (as in you can hold them at full length for 5 hours) 16m long poles we're nigh on unheard of unless you had the equivalent of a small car loan set aside to buy one. But in the last 2 years especially you can get an awesome piece of kit for £1000, no bear in mind this piece of kit can be held at 16m in length by spreading the load over approx 400mm with a total weight of 1300g's so imagine the tubular strength required in that!!!

    Off on a bit of a Tangent I know but I thiught it might be usefull.
