'BRILLIANT POLE FOR THE MONEY'

Strengths:
Lightweight when using the top 3 kit , Cheap spares

Weaknesses:
No4 section feels weak (as does the rest of the pole but landed carp to 10lb without too much trouble) Can droop a little with power-kit fitted with heavy elastic

Overall:
This is my first proper pole so i cant comment on comparison to the other poles in this price however i have enjoyed using this pole over the last year, it was responsive enough for shy biting skimmers and roach yet handled carp without any problems. Worth investing in another match kit as power kits are heavy. No cupping kit supplied but if you buy another match kit you could convert a power kit to do the job. Comes with 1 match kit (in the pole) two power kits and a small holdall.(suitable for the pole only)

Retails around £229.99
