Product Information

Full details

The MAP TKS G60 16m Pole is designed for anglers seeking a high-performance, versatile pole capable of handling both commercial and natural venues. Its key benefit is exceptional rigidity and balance, even at its maximum length, thanks to Graphene-impregnated carbon. A potential caveat is its premium nature, which may be more suited to experienced anglers who can fully utilize its advanced features.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of the Graphene-infused carbon?

Graphene infusion creates a carbon material that is exceptionally strong and rigid, yet remains lightweight and well-balanced, enhancing the pole's overall performance and reducing angler fatigue.

Can I use top kits from other MAP pole models?

The MAP TKS G60 16m Pole is fully interchangeable with the MAP 901 model due to sharing the same mandrel. Compatibility with other MAP models may vary; always check specifications.

How do the depth markers work?

Each top kit features printed markers at specific intervals. These allow you to quickly set your rig to a desired depth or note the depth you are currently fishing at by observing which marker aligns with the end of your pole section.

What is the purpose of the extra-long PTFE bushes?

The extra-long PTFE bushes provide a larger bearing surface for the elastic, reducing friction and wear. This results in smoother elastic deployment, better fish control, and increased longevity of both the elastic and the pole section.

How do I maintain the anti-friction finish?

The anti-friction finish is inherent to the pole's coating. Regular cleaning with a soft, damp cloth will help preserve its effectiveness. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch or damage the finish.

What weight can this pole handle?

The pole's construction, including the power kits and rigid cupping kit, is designed for robust performance on both commercial and natural venues, capable of handling significant weights. Specific elastic ratings should be consulted based on the type of fishing and fish being targeted.

Does the pole come ready to fish?

The pole includes multiple top kits, a mini extension, and a cupping kit. While these are pre-fitted with bushes and pullers, you will need to rig the top kits with your preferred elastic and end tackle before fishing.

Troubleshooting

Pole sections are difficult to ship or unship.

Ensure the pole is clean and dry. Apply a small amount of pole lubricant or polish to the male and female sections. Check for any debris caught within the sections.

Reduced rigidity or excessive flexing at longer lengths.

Verify that all pole sections are correctly aligned and fully seated. Ensure no damage has occurred to the carbon blank. For longer lengths, consider using a higher-strength top kit if available.

Line snags or poor line flow through the puller kit.

Check that the side roller puller is correctly aligned and free of debris. Ensure the PTFE bush inside the top kit is smooth and free of damage. Adjust the elastic tension if necessary.

Damage to PTFE bushes.

Gently remove the damaged bush and replace it with a new one. Ensure it is seated correctly and flush with the socket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Familiarize with Components: Unpack and identify all included items: pole, top kits, extension, cupping kit, and holdall.
  2. Kit Preparation: Ensure the extra-long PTFE bushes and side roller pullers are correctly fitted to your chosen top kits. These are pre-fitted as standard.
  3. Section Alignment: Use the built-in section alignment system to ensure each section is correctly joined, maintaining the pole's integrity and performance.
  4. Attaching Kits: Securely attach the desired top kit to the number one section.

Compatibility:

The MAP TKS G60 16m Pole utilizes the same mandrel as the MAP 901 model, ensuring full interchangeability of top kits and extensions between these two poles.

Care:

  • Cleaning: After each use, wipe down all sections with a damp, soft cloth to remove dirt and grit. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  • Storage: Store the pole in its protective holdall when not in use. Ensure all sections are dry before storing to prevent potential damage.
  • Bush Maintenance: Periodically check the PTFE bushes for wear and tear. Replace if necessary to maintain smooth performance.
  • Handling: Avoid dropping or striking the pole against hard surfaces, especially when fully assembled.
