Hi Karel,
Don't know youre level of experience, but I suggest you try
the spi hoisted from the tramp out of a bag a couple of times.
The 18-2 can turn in somewhat of a beast with a spi.
Lots of nose-diving.
If you then decide to keep the spi, invest in a new snuffer-bag,
they cost €50 - €90, and try to get a snuffer-ring secondhand.
They are so expensive for a chunk of polyester.
Be careful, lots of F18 and other cats have a 35mm pole, you need
the 50mm.
Here's a pic of my 18-2 with spi.
