FAQs
Can I use Superium X90 kits on other Preston pole series?
The X90 is part of the Superium series, and while many top kits are interchangeable across the series, please check the specific compatibility chart for older models.
How many top kits are included in the package?
The standard package includes a total of ten varied top kits, covering match, F1, and carp configurations.
Does the pole come with a holdall?
Yes, a protective Superium holdall is included to keep the pole and kits secure during transit.
Is the 16m length a true length?
The pole is designed to reach the 16m mark efficiently, and it includes a mini extension to help maintain stiffness at various lengths.
What is the best way to clean the carbon sections?
Use a slightly damp cloth with water only to wipe down the sections, then follow with a dry cloth. Never use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty separating pole sections
Clean the male and female joints with a dry cloth and ensure there is no sand or grit present. Do not use oil-based lubricants.
Top kit not seating correctly
Check the joint for debris and verify that you are using an official Preston Superium-compatible top kit.
Pole feels slightly unbalanced
Check that all sections are fully and firmly seated into one another; partial connections can affect the pole's stiffness and weight distribution.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Superium X90, always follow these best practices:
- Setup: Assemble the pole on a clean, grass surface or use a dedicated pole roller setup to prevent grit from damaging carbon joints.
- Compatibility: Only use top kits specifically designed for the Superium series to ensure proper joint fitment and prevent stress cracks.
- Care: Clean joints regularly with a soft, dry cloth to remove dirt or debris. Store the pole in the provided Superium holdall away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures when not in use.
- Handling: Avoid 'shipping' the pole too fast. Always control the pole with two hands and ensure sections are aligned correctly before locking them together.
