I have two of those drennan universal kits but a bit heavey really

I own one of the 75g drennan tops and yeah it’s fairly heavy, i use this only in the summer on commercials for paste fishing. They are super strong and i rate them highly. I think you can get a 30g version but there’s also a 45g version too. Obviously the lighter tops are for lighter elastic.

or maybe heavy elastics with a pull bung had a few, no probs as you say 30 quid against 50 just take a bit of time

the original polemaster kits vary in weight from the ultralight competition kits at around 40g (I could be wrong) to the heavier 75g carp kits

however, there’s a new range out under the series 7 banner, there’s 3 in the range:

silverfish, carp & cupping kit
they are all made from good quality carbon, and are all the same strength, the only difference between the silverfish & carp tops are the tip bore diameters

all 3 kits are 2.5m long & weigh 55g, I have the silverfish kits & they are not heavy or unbalanced, and at £23 a pop you really can’t go wrong

I have several of the drennan polemaster 45grm kits loaded with Preston 9,11, 13 hollow and grey hydro; all on pulla bungs never ahd a problem with anyof them.

Not built for bullying lumps. Had carp to 11lb and tench to 8lb never broken a section.

Some people have cut them back a bit further than pre-bushed and fitted black hydro with out a problem.

The polemaster are longer kits than the series 7.

Do top kits under the 7 series banner fit Maver Competion range?

i was going to try the milo strippa top kts, then no need for pulla bungs or any bungs, not sure what daiwa poles they fit? wheres the best price for these??

Kookie, what sort of fishing do you intend on doing with the Drennan tops?

I have several of the original light top 2’s for silverfish that I use on my K47. They are brilliant. I haven’t used any of the carp tops though.
