norsman   10 #1 Posted November 15, 2015 I want to buy a new pole got my choice down to Preston GXR 2600 or Maver Elite series 3 carp I've always had Preston before but not sure which of the two is the best. cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Croftonblade   10 #2 Posted November 26, 2015 I haven't used either but I found a thread on Maggotdrowners saying that MAP 501 is a better pole for less money. Im considering a 501 for the new year- theyve just brought out an upgrade to their TKS range called G2, lighter and stiffer. Should be in shops soon.

norsman   10 #4 Posted November 27, 2015 thank you for your input fellas, will have a look at the Map pole also had a look at the preston M50 all in all it can get very confusing with such a wide choice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
stealthy   10 #5 Posted December 11, 2015 i work at a large tackle chain and although the mavers arent usually as good as the preston or the map they are catching up. we get sell out of the elite carp 3's as soon as they come in but we do have alot more demand for the map poles. all depends what your wanting to spend on a pole. i do personally think the map are in the lead in the pole market at the minute Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
