Does anyone know if there are any differences between the MFJ pole and the and the one being sold by DK9SQ. I believe there is almost a $20 difference in price not including shipping, MFJ being the lower of the two. I meant to check this out while at Dayton since they were within 50 feet of each other in the main hall, but along with other thinks I forgot..

No difference that I could see at Dayton. The gent who does Kanga &
Hands kits in the US also carries the pole. I don't know about
prices.

I suspect that the joints in the DK9SQ might have been strengthened
compared to the MFJ, but perhaps someone could confirm . . .

I am not familiar with the MFJ unit, but the DK9SQ mast, which I own, has a
reinforcement ring at the ends of the larger diameter sections. The smaller
diameter sections appear to be of uniform thickness, although tapered.
These reinforcement rings also have a nice feature in that they fill the
circumferential voids in the collapsed condition so the sections do not
rattle around as much as they would otherwise. This is a well-executed mast
and very convenient to work with.

Hi Bill and group,

I have a DK9SQ fiberglass pole and I tell you, I am very happy with
it. I bought it from SYCOM in the UK about 18 months ago along with
the single element QUAD that comes with it and it works FB.

Now regarding its strength, the manufacturer claims that this pole is
3 times stronger than normal fiberglass fishing poles and indeed it
looks very strong. Of course I have not tried its strentgh nor am I a
fishing poles expert. I just know that it looks more robust than my
other 6 meter poles I have for my SLVs, but maybe this is not a fair
comparison because the DK9SQ pole is 10 meters long.

DK9SQ version has reiforcement and a nicer carrying tube.

HOW MUUUUUUUUCHHHHHHHH?????????????????????????????????????????

The DK9SQ is $99 + Shipping, The MFJ I think is about $79 + Shipping. The
difference in price was the reason for asking if there were any differences in
the poles. It would appear from comments here that the DK9SQ version is
somewhat better constructed and has a carring case.
