If you start on topkit plus 3 for a few trips and then add the butt section after you are used to the feel of a pole, you will find it very pleasant to handle, although its heavy compared to a top end pole at the same length , the balance is very good.

The reason is quite simple – for some time Preston had been inundated with requests to bring out a longer 10m version of the Edge Monster to give that bit more reach along the bank and enable you to fish up against the next platform along on most commercial waters. Tough, hard-wearing section walls are a given, as are top kits that can be used with the heaviest of hollow elastics without fear of an expensive carbon explosion. Preston Innovations 10m / 8.5M EDGE MONSTER MARGIN POLE/ Spare Top Kits / 10m Ex.(1.5m) Butt Section This, as everyone who fishes them will tell you, is a great area in which to target really big fish, especially during the last hour of a match, or during the late afternoon/early evening if you’re on a bag-up pleasure session.If you want to dip your toe into pole fishing the Monster margin is the ideal starter pole, I’ve used one of the top kits with Drennan 6-8 bungee set not to tight and dont bump off many silvers, and landed some real lumps as well. Accidental damage or misuse is not covered. For example damage caused by crushing, incorrectly fitted section or impact damage would not be considered for replacement. Only one small diameter tube for an elasticated top kit. Solved this minor problem by nabbing a bigger tube out the garage.

Our ambition is to provide our customers with a friendly experience which is convenient, great value and hassle free. Of course, this isn’t a top-end pole, but it’s still very comfortable to hold over the full course of a match and not overly bouncy to fish with. YOU might say the Preston Innovations 8.5m Edge Monster Margin is the David Attenborough of poles – everybody loves it!

Hello,

The good news, however, is that the latest version is formed around the same mandrel as the original, and that means The Edge Monster oozes strength, and I could pile on the pressure – not perfect, admittedly, but it will still perform perfectly well if you don’t want to splash out for the complete new model. Without a proper re-design that would have made the pole overly bouncy and top-heavy, posing problems when fishing with a short line between float and pole. Both these Top kits feature our revolutionary Roller Pulla system and come fitted with a PTFE bush, all are supplied in PVC tubes and a dedicated pole holdall for safe transit. This is indeed a whopper-stopper of a margin pole, but it still has some finesse across its top sections.
