Product Information

Full details

The MAP TKS G40 16m Pole is designed for serious anglers seeking top-tier performance in a lightweight and rigid package. Its key benefit is exceptional balance and strength, even at its full 16m length, thanks to graphene-impregnated carbon. A minor caveat is that its advanced features may require some familiarity with high-end pole fishing equipment.

FAQs

What is the primary advantage of the graphene resin in this pole?

The graphene resin enhances the carbon fiber's strength and rigidity, allowing for a thinner, lighter, and more balanced pole that is also incredibly robust and durable.

Can I use top kits from my old MAP TKS 701 pole with the G40?

Yes, the TKS G40 shares the same mandrel as the TKS 601/701/801/901 series, so all top kits and extensions from these models are fully interchangeable.

How does the depth marker print help?

The unique depth marker print on each top kit allows you to quickly identify or set the exact depth you are fishing at, improving accuracy and consistency.

What is the weight of the pole at 16 meters?

The pole weighs approximately 1612g at its full 16.0m length.

What types of top kits are included with the pole?

The package typically includes a V1 Pre-Bushed DM Match Kit, V1 Extra Pre-Bushed Match kits, V1 Pre-Bushed DM Power Kits, and F1 Short kits, offering versatility for various fishing situations.

Is the pole suitable for commercial fisheries?

Yes, with the included power kits and its rigidity, the G40 is well-suited for the demands of commercial fisheries, including handling larger carp.

Does the pole come with a protective bag?

Yes, the pole comes with a Pole Holdall for protection during storage and transport.

Troubleshooting

Pole feels stiff or difficult to ship

Ensure the pole is clean and dry. In cold weather, carbon can contract; try to keep it at a stable temperature. Lightly re-applying a suitable pole slip solution can also help.

Elastic not running smoothly through the bush

Check that the PTFE bush is clean and free from debris. Ensure the elastic is seated correctly and not twisted. The extra-long PTFE bush is designed for smooth operation, but regular cleaning is key.

Section joint feels loose

Inspect the joint for any damage or dirt. Ensure the sections are fully pushed together. If the joint remains loose after cleaning and proper assembly, contact the retailer for inspection.

Side roller puller sticking

Clean the roller and the surrounding area to remove any dirt or debris that might be obstructing its movement. Ensure the elastic is not overly tight, which can sometimes cause resistance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional rigidity and balance, even at full 16m length.
  • Lightweight construction due to graphene integration.
  • Robust and durable build quality.
  • Full compatibility with other TKS 601/701/801/901 series poles.
  • Useful features like depth markers and side roller pullers enhance usability.

Cons

  • May be an investment for casual anglers.
  • Requires careful handling and maintenance typical of high-end poles.
  • The advanced features might have a learning curve for beginners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The TKS G40 pole features a section alignment system to help ensure all sections are correctly oriented for optimal performance. The included top kits are pre-bushed and ready for elastication. Ensure all sections are securely joined before use.

Compatibility: This pole uses the same mandrel as the TKS 601, 701, 801, and 901 models, meaning all top kits and extensions from these series are fully interchangeable with the G40. This allows for a highly adaptable setup.

Care: To maintain the pole's performance and longevity:

  • Always clean the pole after use, especially if fishing in saltwater or muddy conditions. Use a soft, damp cloth for the sections.
  • Avoid excessive force when shipping sections in or out, particularly in cold weather.
  • Regularly inspect the PTFE bushes and side roller pullers for wear or damage.
  • Store the pole in its protective holdall when not in use to prevent accidental damage.
