Product Information

Full details

The MAP TKS G20 14.5m Pole is designed for anglers seeking a robust yet lightweight and well-balanced all-round pole. Its primary benefit lies in its advanced Graphene resin construction, offering exceptional strength without the bulk of traditional carbon layering. A potential consideration is its specialized nature, meaning it's optimized for strength and balance, which might be a factor for anglers prioritizing extreme lightness above all else.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of using Graphene resin?

Graphene resin provides exceptional strength and durability while allowing the pole to remain incredibly well-balanced and lightweight, without the added weight typically associated with extra carbon layers.

Can I use sections from my old TKS 301 pole with the G20?

Yes, the TKS G20 is manufactured off the same mandrel as the TKS 301, meaning there is full section interchangeability between these two models.

How do the depth markers on the kits work?

The depth markers are printed directly onto the top kits, allowing you to quickly and accurately set or recall the exact depth you need for fishing.

What type of bushes are fitted to the kits?

Each top kit is supplied with an extra-long pure PTFE bush fitted as standard, ensuring smooth performance and durability.

Does the pole come with a carry case?

Yes, the pole comes with a dedicated pole holdall for protection and transport.

What is the weight of the pole at 14.5m?

The pole weighs approximately 1400g at its full 14.5m length.

Are the side roller pullers pre-fitted on all kits?

Yes, the TKS G20 features fitted side roller pullers on all supplied kits for enhanced angler control.

Troubleshooting

Pole sections are difficult to ship or unship.

Ensure all sections are clean and dry. Check for any debris trapped in the joints. A light application of pole lubricant or pole silk to the male ferrules can improve smoothness. Avoid forcing sections.

Side roller puller feels stiff or is not functioning correctly.

Inspect the roller for any dirt or fishing line that may be obstructing its movement. Clean carefully with a soft brush or cloth. If damaged, the roller may need replacement.

Depth markers on the kits are not visible or are inaccurate.

The markers are printed onto the carbon. Ensure the section is clean and that you are viewing it under good light. The accuracy depends on consistent rigging and measuring; ensure your elastic and rig setup is consistent.

Pole feels unbalanced or heavy during use.

While designed for balance, personal perception can vary. Ensure you are using the pole at a comfortable length. Check that no excess water or mud has accumulated on the sections. For very long sessions, consider using a pole support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio thanks to Graphene resin.
  • Excellent balance and handling for a pole of its length.
  • Full compatibility with TKS 301 models.
  • Integrated features like depth markers and side roller pullers enhance usability.
  • Durable construction designed to withstand demanding use.

Cons

  • May be heavier than ultra-lightweight specialist poles.
  • Requires specific care to maintain the anti-friction finish.
  • Graphene technology might be a premium feature impacting price.
  • Interchangeability is limited to TKS 301 models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

The MAP TKS G20 14.5m Pole comes pre-fitted with essential components. Ensure all sections are securely joined before use. The included kits (1 x V1 Pre-Bushed DM Match Kit, 2 x V1 Pre-Bushed DM Power Kits, 1 x short F1 kit, 1 x Rigid Cupping Kit) can be easily attached to the designated sections. The pre-fitted PTFE bushes and side roller pullers mean no immediate modifications are necessary for standard use.

Compatibility:

This pole is manufactured off the same mandrel as the TKS 301, offering full section interchangeability with that model. Ensure that any replacement or additional sections are from the TKS range to guarantee a proper fit.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, wipe down all sections with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt, mud, and slime. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Dry thoroughly before storing.
  • Anti-friction Finish: Protect this finish by avoiding rough handling or dragging sections across abrasive surfaces. A light application of a pole silk or specialized pole lubricant can help maintain its smoothness.
  • Storage: Store the pole in its protective holdall in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure all sections are clean and dry before packing away.
  • Bushes and Pullers: Periodically check the PTFE bushes and roller pullers for wear or damage. Replace if necessary to maintain optimal performance.
