Has anyone got one of these or used one? if so what elastic do you have in the top kits and how do they handle i can get one for less than £200, so if it is
worth it,

Can't help you mate, I'm a rod & reel man myself
You can achieve more with a kind word and a length of 4 x 2

Hi Michael i can tell you the match top 3 is rated to a size 12 elastic and the power top 2s are rated to 18 elastic, i myself use the Map commercial power
pole and i can tell you it can handle anything you can throw at it, my mate uses the M16 power and he swears by it, i can tell you it retails at £499.99 so
depending on the age and the condition £200 seems okay, i hope this helps.

micheal, how are you mate.
i had a little look on thenet for you & this is probably the best info i could find, i hope it helps. also i am led to believe leeda top kids will fit it, so if you need any it keep the cost down as your not paying for the MAP name. good deal your getting there mate good luck. MAP M-I6 Power 16M Pole Package . Stiffer and more responsive than the original, the New M-16 Power gives you the option to go beyond the competition. Thanks to the wide-bore top kits you can fish longer, even using heavy elastic and big carp are on the cards. Now swap to the extra strong match kit and the short No4 and you won't believe that this sub £500 pole can be so fast and responsive. The fantastic Diamond smooth sanding process has been used on sections 5-8 to increase shipping speed, even in the wet, making this the perfect pole for the angler looking to catch big weights of summer carp and winter F1's. The Package: - 16m M-16 Pole. - Integral Match Kit (Elastic rating 12). - 2 Power Kits (Elastic rating 18). - Cupping Kit suppied with 2 cups. - 1 short No4 Section. - MAP Pole Holdall |

Hi Micheal i have got the Middy Hi viz shockcore 6 to 10 in the match top 3 in my power top 2s i have got Middy hi viz 12 to 16 red and in my other power top 2
i have got preston hollow core purple which is rated to 19, i have had some very big lumps out on the purple 19 and i have not had any problems whatsoever and
the pole handles superb, the pole that you can buy for £200 is a steal and if you buy it Michael you should wear a mask ha ha , you will not be dissapointed if
you buy it Michael, hpoe this helps.

Hi Michael the 6 - 10 works very well for small fish but have it set loose not tight , regarding the drennan i have used there yellow 10-12 and i found it too
stretchy it never seemed to bottom out, i prefer the middy shock core personally i think for the money it is the best elastic on the market, i would have put
the shock core in my power top but i could not get hold of any at the time so i went with the preston 19h.

Hi Michael i would have put the hi viz 18-20 blue in and set it loose but i must admit the 19h is very good i have not had any problems at all, you could try
the hi viz from middy in some of your tops, you could have 8-10 yellow and 10-12 pink then you are covered for any fish wherever you go.
