Just that the pole will have a top 3 fitted suitable for lighter elastics and catching smaller silver fish. Prob take up to 12s elastic, good enough for small carp though.

sorry for being new and stupid

2 x Power Top 2 means two sets of 1 and 2 pole.

so does fitted match top means 1 2 and 3 already elasticated ? if so how would you ever fit the power top ?

cupping kit does that mean another 1 and 2 pole ?

thanks

. many pole specs say 2 power top 2,two match top 2 and one fitted which means it is inside the pole when you get so in effect you get 3 matchtop 2's......
don't ask me why?

Effectively the power top 2 consists of a No2 and No 3 and fits onto naturaly the No 4. And a match top 3 consists of a No1 No 2 and No 3 and also fit onto the No 4. Normally you only elasticate the No1 and 2 on a match top kit. But can if you want do all 3.hope that helps.
