Thanks John, I will look at the Middy, I had heard 6mm for the map, that's why I considered those, 7mm will be near the edges of the strengthened part of section.As for Prestons I have never fancied drilling 10mm into any topkit irrespective of make of pole, Did you get a genuine shimano topkit for yours ,?
Yep, the cost of the Shimano isn’t much more than a universal top kit and possibly less when you get the tackle shop to put a wrap on it and a side puller and less hassle cutting to size too.
