FAQs
What is the main advantage of Graphene resin in this pole?
Graphene resin impregnation significantly enhances the pole's strength-to-weight ratio, making it more robust and lighter for better handling and reduced fatigue.
Can I use top kits from other MAP pole ranges?
While the TKS G50 is designed for V1 series kits, compatibility with other MAP ranges may vary. It's best to confirm specific compatibility or use only V1 series kits for optimal performance and fit.
How do the depth markers help?
The unique depth marker print on each top kit allows you to quickly and accurately set your rig to the desired depth, saving valuable time during a fishing session, especially when moving between spots.
What types of fishing is this pole best suited for?
The TKS G50 is versatile and excels in both commercial fisheries (for big weights) and natural venues (for general fishing). Its performance is suitable for species like carp, bream, and F1s.
How should I clean the pole after fishing?
After each use, wipe all pole sections with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt and grime. Ensure sections are dry before storing.
What is the weight of the pole at 16.0m?
The pole weighs 1560g at its full 16.0m length.
Does the pole come with a holdall?
Yes, the MAP TKS G50 16m Pole includes a protective pole holdall.
Troubleshooting
Pole sections are difficult to separate or join.
Ensure sections are clean and free of dirt or debris. Check that the section alignment system is correctly engaged. A very small amount of silicone grease can be applied to joints if needed, but avoid over-application.
Line tangles excessively around the tip.
Ensure the PTFE bush is correctly seated and the side roller puller is functioning smoothly. Check the diameter of your elastic and ensure it's appropriate for the bush size. Trim excess elastic for a clean fit.
Reduced rigidity or 'whip' at longer lengths.
Verify that all sections are fully extended and correctly aligned. Ensure no sections are damaged. For very demanding situations at full length, consider using a stiffer top kit or a power kit.
Cupping kit is difficult to attach or stays loose.
Ensure you are using the correct adapter for the cupping kit and that it is fully seated and tightened onto the designated pole section.
