Truly sensational! Without doubt the best £2000 pole we have ever produced. The 481 is arguably as stiff at 16m as it is at 13m. Weighing just 629g at 11.5m and a featherweight 891g at 13m. The new flagship of the stunning Competition range has the wall strength needed to be a true all-rounder, suitable for all match fishing situations. This pole looks certain to continue on from the success of the popular Competition 401.
The 481 comes supplied with a revolutionary new deluxe style of power kit that is much lighter and stiffer than standard kits. When fishing with a conventional kit, fitted with a heavy hollow elastic, the action of the pole is often spoilt, this new style of power kit combats this problem and helps maintain the original action and rigidity of the pole ...more
The stiffest model Maver have ever produced. This remarkable Elite 88 is the ultimate competition pole. Its qualities are unrivalled by any other pole currently available in the world.
The weight and balance coupled with innovative Nano resins presents a pole that has a superb rigid action. Weighing in at a featherlight 570 grams at 11.5m and just 760 grams at 13m.
Parallel extensions enable this flagship pole to be fished at lengths well beyond 16m. It has the strength to cope with commercial carp and the finesse for every silverfish that swims.
The overall package is unbelievable with a total of 8 kits including the top 3 match kit housed inside the pole ...more
The Xitan Z9 is our flagship pole for 2010 and is without doubt the
best pole that we have ever produced. Very stiff, strong and light it is
the perfect choice for the expert angler. Extreme rigidity and absence
of “bounce” make the pole perfect for fishing shallow and with very
short lines. This pole is supplied at 16 metres but during field testing
was found to be easily fishable at 17.5 metres.
The pole is manufactured using the highest quality carbon cloth
available to us. By incorporating our Nano-Carbon technology we
have been able to make the Z9 both very strong and very durable;
“brittle” sections that break unexpectedly or on even slight impact are
a problem of the past! The joint areas have a visible woven overwrap
to minimise wear and add further strength ...more

Using a unique Multi Lateral High Modulus with Ultra Light Resins, which are infused in a specialised production process, has lead to the development of a pole far superior to the already outstanding and award winning Trilogy XS. Not just an ordinary upgrade of an already outstanding pole, but the development of a brand new model encapsulating the latest technology, materials, new production processes and materials. All this gives the TRILOGY PRO 2 features which will astonish anglers. Lighter than before with a feel making it a dream to use, even at its full length of 16.5mtrs.

The new ONE XS continues on from the massive success of the original model. The result of 12 months development between Preston Inovations and Lerc, with the target of creating the most complete ultimate pole. Designed specifically for the UK match angler, thanks to its incredible levels of stiffness and strength. The ONE XS is both lighter and stiffer than the original, which is some feat on its own. However to create the most complete pole, you also need a complete package and what a package you get - a total of 11 kits, including 5 spare top 4 kits plus a short number 4 and a Kup kit. The ONE XS is by far the most complete pole we have ever produced and is sure to become a cult favourite.
