Daiwa Pro Speed Cloud Kit

Description

The Daiwa Pro Speed Cloud Kit is a one-piece top kit built for commercial carp and F1 match fishing. At 1.83m in a single continuous section, it removes joint flex for maximum rigidity and a fast strike response. The 5.8mm tip takes heavy elastics up to Daiwa Red Hydro (20 rating), and the anti-glare, anti-spook Cloud finish runs down to the factory-fitted Dual Roller side puller. It is aimed at long, shallow pole work, keeping fish feeding confidently beneath the float without casting shadows over wary fish. - Model Code: PTKSC5.8-BU - Product Name: Daiwa Pro Speed Cloud Kit 5.8mm 1pc - Length: 1.83m (Single Section Construction) - Tip Diameter: 5.8mm (Bore-ready for heavy elastics up to Red Hydro / 20 rating) - Bushing: Pre-fitted high-grade internal PTFE bush - Puller System: Pre-fitted genuine Dual Roller Side Puller - Finish: Specialized anti-spook Cloud grey finish down to the side puller - Material: High-grade, high-modulus carbon construction - Compatibility: Fits all flagship Daiwa UK pole mandrels (including Air, Airity, Tournament, Spectron, and Connoisseur series) Where to use it: - Commercial Shallow Carp Fishing: Unbeatable when slapping rigs or mugging carp in shallow water where standard dark top kits cast frightening overhead shadows. - Open-Water F1 Tactics: Ideal for high-speed shallow fishing at distance, providing instant strike transmission with zero section joint wobble. - Heavy-Elastic Island Reach: Perfect when targeting large commercial carp cruising tight against island ropes, reeds, or far-bank margins with heavy hollow elastics. Optimize Hollow Elastic Travel: Because this single-piece 1.83m kit creates such a direct, linear pull down to the side puller, couple it with a dedicated stripping bead on your Hydro elastic. When hooking large carp shallow, the factory Dual Roller side puller allows you to strip elastic smoothly with minimal friction, keeping complete control over hard-fighting fish right at net distance without stressing the carbon. What makes the Cloud finish better for shallow fishing? Standard dark carbon top kits create a strong silhouette against the sky, which easily spooks cruising carp in clear or shallow water. The Cloud grey finish breaks up the kit's outline, letting you slap floats and work rigs directly over feeding fish without driving them away. Do I need to cut the tip down to fit big elastics? No, it comes factory-built with a 5.8mm tip internal diameter and a pre-fitted PTFE bush. It is ready to wrap and tube straight out of the sleeve for heavy hollow elastics up to Red Hydro (size 20). Will a 1-piece 1.83m kit store easily in standard pole holdalls? Yes, its single-section 1.83m transport length fits neatly into standard protective top kit tubes and modern rigid hard-case pole holdalls without issue.
