GEN X TOP KITS
The GEN X Concept was the result of over three years intense research into the perfect design taper for a pole so that it can be fished at its full 16m length more easily. The result is a series which offers the perfect combination between stiffness, balance, weight and low diameter. The Aspire Ultra, Fire Blood and Super Ultegra are all produced on the GEN X mandrel, meaning that sections will interchange and a large range of affordable generic spares are available to fit each pole. The design of the match top 3’s incorporates a very short, large bore number 1 section. This can be elasticated with up to a number 8 elastic without any cutting back. For heavier elastics up to 20, and all hollow elastics, you can remove the number 1 section and fit a large internal bush directly into the number 2 section. Because the number 1 section is short, it means that you keep the maximum length possible whether you’re fishing light or extra heavy elastic. Also within GEN X is a full range of top kits in 3, 4 and 5 section options. These come in four different grades - Pro, Plus, All Round and EV to enable you to tailor you pole to suit your preference. A cupping kit (exactly the same length as a top 3 kit), half extensions and a generic parallel extension are also available.
GEN Z is a more cost effective version of GEN X and follows the same principles. GEN Z can be found on our new Carp Cruncher, Exage and Technium poles. GEN Z kits are available in top 3, 4, and 5 section options in two grades - All Round and EV. There is also a matching cupping kit that is exactly the same length as a top 3 kit.
Model
AERO JOINT Through the application of a unique high grade carbon - lighter yet more resistant to wear and tear than woven material – Aero Joint will boost your unshipping speed and decrease the chances of damage or sticking joints.
ULTRA SOUND SANDING SYSTEM Available on all GenZ poles. This unique process results in a finish that is silky smooth for almost frictionless shipping and unshipping in both hot and wet conditions.
SHIMANO ALIGNMENT SYSTEM Shimano Alignment System is a system to get the best out of a pole’s action. During production, the backbone of each section is found and marked. When assembled correctly you get a setup which gives the stiffest and best possible alignment.
SUPER SLIK
< The Gen X and Gen Z mandrels offer the perfect taper for fishing at maximum lengths. The interchangeable top kits have a short number 1 section which requires no cutting back for elastics up to a size 8. For heavier and hollow elastics the number 1 can be removed and a bush fitted to the number 2 section.
