Universal Top Kit
Universal Power, match and cupping kits available, these kits are designed to enable them to fit with most poles, from most manufactories. Please be aware that the term universal is used very lightly and is not guaranteed to fit every pole due to the varying dimensions of pole sections. If you are unsure as to whether the universal kits will fit your pole, please contact us and we will try to point you in the right direction.
Short Number 4
the short number 4 is half the length of a conventional number 4 section. It is designed to be used when fishing in the margins to give the pole extra strength. Can be used when at distance to give the pole extra rigidity
Number 4 Power
A heavier duty number 4 section designed to be used when using heavy elastics.
Short Extension
Fits onto the butt section of the pole, designed to be sat on when feeding, adds an extra half a meter to the pole
Super Sections
Abbreviated short section to replace the standard no 3 , 4 or 5 on Daiwa UK built poles. Helps when fishing to tight swims or when exact lengths are required.
Parallel No 4
Short section designed to fit between the number 4 and 5 section on UK built Daiwa Poles.
Short Shella Kit
Ideal for fishing up against islands and stiffens the poles action considerably.
Section Protectors
Designed to protect sections when fishing at shorter lengths.
Short Number 3
Same as the short number 4 but for those poles that only come with top 2 kits.
Pulla/Interlastic kit
Drilled section allow the kits to be used as a side pulla.
Generic Kit
Both power and match kits designed to fit a number of poles within a manufactories range. These kits mainly apply to Daiwa and Preston poles and all the poles which are compatible with the generic kits are listed. If you are unsure as to weather you pole is compatible with the Generic kits, please contact us.
Shimano Sections
On some models of Beastmaster and carp Cruncher poles they only come with power kits and these will fit directly onto the number 3 section.
All Shimano poles over the last 10 years have come with codes on the bottom of the sections, for example the Technium XTA number section has a code of TECXTACO- 4.
If you are unsure of which section you require always go on the code on the section.
