The first thing I wanted to test was whether that extra stiffness had turned the Edge Monster from the UK’s best-selling margin pole into an elongated broom handle, with all the balance of Humpty Dumpty attempting to sit on the wall after a heavy night out on the town! I can allay your fears straight away on that score.

Any modification to sections would invalidate your warranty. For example, drilling kits for puller systems would be considered as modification, even if the sections have reinforcement to allow this, it is at your risk! Fitting nose cones would also be considered as modification. With its mini extension, the 8.5m Edge Monster has a super strong 20+ elastic rating, impressive for a pole weighing just 474g. Having fished it at its full 10m length, with the mini extension fitted into the end of the new butt section, I’d agree that it’s been stiffened up through its mid-sections. I still find it hard to believe how much fun I’ve had with a pole at the bottom price point for a pole of reasonable quality.

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. Only one small diameter tube for an elasticated top kit. Solved this minor problem by nabbing a bigger tube out the garage. 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. 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.Carp caught close in tend to scream off and fight hard and as such you need a polecapable of withstanding such a fight.
