The first thing I've got to say about this pole is WOW ! Having looked for a new pole for around 18 months or so on a budget of around £2000 I'd almost settled on the daiwa G90 until I saw the reviews and you tube video's for this pole. I took a gamble on it and am so glad I did. I've owned a daiwa tournament pro X for around 15 years or so and this pole beats it hands down. Also have to say that the service was great too being delivered by James. I will definitely be looking too order more spares etc in the future from this brilliant company.
used my cp 2000 for the first time,had a lot of poles over the years, mid range to top end.The cp 2000 is as good if not better than all of them, a big thank you to James robbins Nige collis and the cadence team what a pole and what fantastic customer service.
I have had my cp2000 pole well over 2years now and what an excellent Pole it is, this has got to be the best value flagship pole out there for the money. I really can't fault it all, it is light, stiff, and extremely well balanced and for luckily for me living close to there warehouse I collect sparesreplacement sections the same day!! Thankfully I have yet to break a section but it is comforting to know this.
Only just bought the CP2000, the power package, and I will write another review in a few months once I've put it through its paces but I wanted to write about the buying experience.
I've been deciding on a pole to buy for the best part of a year and after deciding on a budget I had a few contenders. The flagship poles by other brands are out of my price range but when comparing specs the CP2000 is right up there with them. After watching Tom and Dave review all the Cadence poles, and others, on Catch More Media and my subsequent questions answered on the very friendly Cadence Facebook page I was 95% convinced.
The thing that tipped it for me was when James Robbins, the man himself, sent me a message asking if I had any other questions and if I would like a chat about what fishing I did and which pole/package would be best for me.
Well after a call, some umming and ahing, another call, a bit more deliberation and a final call James set me up with a great package to suit my needs and I now have the CP2000. He really did look after me well.
now that I have it initial thoughts are that it's a great piece of kit, light and stiff. Comparing to others that I've tested in pole alleys it's right up there with all others I've tried.
Now the proof of the pudding is in the catching of fish so can't wait to be out on the bank
Well after using the CP2000 for nearly a year now it gotta be said I've used top end poles for a long time now an it's right up there with the best very stiff an really responsive.and you can build the spares to suit your fishing really top pole at a great price
