The MAP TKS Euro Competition Match 13.0m Pole is engineered for competitive anglers, offering a versatile tool for various match fishing scenarios. As part of the renowned MAP TKS pole range, this 13.0m pole is designed to provide a blend of strength, rigidity, and balance essential for precise bait presentation and efficient fish handling. Constructed from high modulus carbon, MAP TKS poles are developed using exclusive mandrels to achieve a lighter, stronger, and well-balanced feel. While the more recent G-Series MAP poles incorporate Graphene modified resin for enhanced strength and rigidity without additional weight, the TKS family generally prioritizes robust build quality and responsive action. Features commonly found across the MAP TKS pole range, contributing to their performance and usability, include: - PTFE bushes fitted in top kits for smooth elastic performance. - Identical length power and match kits for interchangeability. - Reinforcement bands in areas prone to stress. - Smooth-ship finish for easy handling. - Reinforced joints for durability. - Joint-alignment system for quick and accurate assembly. - Ultra-rigid cupping kit with adaptor and cups. - Reinforced extension.
