Never used one, but still found the video interesting. Thank you.

Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup kzbin.infoUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

I have a maver signature I bought a few years ago with top six carp fighter yes £2500 but never let me down with carp well into double figures so this is rob the next level

[@micka5617]

Best part of four grand... A very small market when comes to poles of that price.

[@BaggieBob]

I did say 4/5k so answer poles to £5k

[@neilhalley8897]

All my mates have had trouble with maver poles as in breaking sections. Diawa is the best pole for the money at the moment.

[@scottpardoe6349]

Wonder how many these companies sell at that price to make it viable. Does look like an incredible pole though.maver have lead the way with kit packages recently too.

[@000Karesz000]

Is it something like the Sphere PT+? Top end pole but with more power than usual?

[@markthurston601]

Had a crappy avanti 16 metre pole 8 years had 17 lb fish on it never broke it is qiete heavy but I've seen 500 pole snap all the time on smaller fish

[@ryanogden5895]

4k for a pole....come on guys moneys tight at the min. I know your pushing all these new top end poles but jesus its too expensive plus youd be shittin your sen if you break it or it gets stolen. Na mate not for your normal anglers mate this. £800 should be a top end price

[@martingibbons725]

Buy to your budget then. By this logic we should close down Porsche, Mercedes…. Don’t buy one. Check out another pole.

[@thejoker7323]

£4k pole, but drives a rusty Vauxhall van and shops at Jacamo…

[@red110tdi]

@@martingibbons725 I’d say reading his comment, he will be buying to his budget

[@paulAnthony7236]

Gone are the days when we called them roach poles showing my age now.

[@MARKCHAPLE]

Dedicated Matchman pole but with £100,000 Matches happening best tools for the job a must ?

[@BaggieBob]

Great assessment however now you have tested Diawa Air Z Pro, Guru Aventus 900 and now Maver Mv-Rxx pole, if I had £4/5k to spend what would you invest money in. Carp and silver catch I do throughout the year

[@thejoker7323]

Invest it into crypto currency instead…in 5 years time your ‘investment’ will be the same as the pole - worthless

[@septicsceptic419]

It wouldn't be a maver, absolute rubbish.

[@kippaxstreeter]

​@septicsceptic419 they were that is true. I had Diawa all my life but no matter of the model number 4's are wafer thin and break to easy. Last 2 Poles been a Signature Pro 900 and Super Lithium absolute brilliant would never go back.

[@Lfc-kd2kr]

Unless it’s my eyesight but I couldn’t make out what it says it comes with with the writing

[@thejoker7323]

Maver poles only need one classification - Overpriced

[@andysmith7407]

I can absolutely promise you that fish don't give a flying f*ck about your pole, whether you call it a superpole, ultrapole or something else (hyperbole might be the better phrase). Nobody should be paying £4k to present a bait at any distance, Jesus just USE YOUR BRAIN.

[@robertedmunds2394]

You don’t have to pay that money to land big fish. I paid about £500 for a matrix MXT 1 at 13Metres. On Tuesday at monks lake in Kent I caught 32 carp including 16-1/2 15lbs 3-14 lb plus and 3 other doubles. I used Preston dura slip 17 with matrix 12 banded hook and baby corn. I’ve had many double up to 17-1/2 at monks.

[@williamwright4006]

Well done

[@blenny47]

Fishing is going the same way as football and that is money 💰 money money money

[@w0happ3l]

So garbolino is making hyper poles for years then. Same as colmic were poles are tested on natural venues with 40 pound carp on them. Aint nothing new

[@carliervincent4643]

I m French what the price please

[@Hascienda27]

Too much

[@iveywebb44]

Literally everything this guy tests is flawless and the best ever. That's not a review its just absolutely pathetic.

[@davidbashforth4959]

More hyperbole than hyperpole

[@stokecarpanglers]

I can't do with pole anglers when they think they own the bank with a 30 foot pole running behind them so you can't get past.

[@ryanlindsay7045]

I know right? Almost as bad as bivvies bbqs and 4 rods not moving for 3 days across the whole bank . We all have our gripes mate 😅

[@davidbashforth4959]

It looks like you'll spend more time messing about withe the different bits than fishing.

[@michaelgoff5231]

Complete with Mavers awful goudy graphics nearly in every section..... Quite vulgar 🙄

[@russelljones1718]

Blah blah blah you use the word monster as click bait when what you really mean is very small carp. Who would take the advice of bullshiters?

[@southghost149]

If your a professional I could probably say it’s worth it but honestly ….. Preston X70 is undoubtedly not as rigid. However if you target commercials and your budget is below £1800 then X70 is perfect for you. The top kits are £55 - £65 and compatible over all Superium models.

[@robertedmunds2394]

I know two good anglers who bought the Preston and have had sections break.😡

[@thejoker7323]

Every pole ever produced has had sections break. Only elite anglers will see a return for their investment.

[@Hascienda27]

@@thejoker7323 found my maver abyss free from a family member when he was throwing it out and its taken some absolute bashing the last few years and its still in great nick, got 5 kits for it now and never thought id ever get that amount, don’t see why people are hell bent on ultra light poles but fish at 10m when the older margin poles post 2010 (maybe) were both still stiff and fairly light. Universal top kits and cutting them yourself must save about 30-100 a top kit yet its never really impeded my pole fishing if anything its more my fault in not improving, the fish dont care if youve got a second hand free pole or a 5k top end one it’s about understanding the company’s aren’t offering value for money anymore to the regular pleasure pole angler like they used to before it all took off now its all aimed at the ones who win tournaments not even just club or general open matches

[@septicsceptic419]

How much did maver pay you to hype up their overpriced brittle crap. Buy maver buy twice!
