Comments about Lexan SL Whisker Pole Twist Lock 6' 12':
Wisker pole on a 23foot sloop. Held up well in 20 knots of wind. Wing and wing - sailing down wind. It was easy to put in place and easy to adjust. Looking forward to racing with it.

Comments about Lexan SL Whisker Pole Twist Lock 6' 12':
While I haven't used this whisker pole yet, I used an identical one on my previous boat. It turns the battle of keeping the headsail full while going downwind into an easy, trouble free ride. Easy to change on a gybe

Comments about Lexan SL Whisker Pole Twist Lock 6' 12':
Great: good quality aluminum spars, reliable twist lock action. Not so great: Plastic end fittings stick in the open position, making the pole difficult to work with. Lubricating with Sail Kote helps some, but is still a problem, especially in a blow. In retrospect I would not mind paying more for better quality metal end fittings.
