  Does anybody know if the power kits supplied with the standard original TP spares package are the CTK5 or CTK10’s and if there’s much of a difference between the two.
  
  Cheers

  Yes they are CTK5 and yes the CTK10’s are nowhere near as good.

  The match kits are in my opinion the best with number 1 removed. The carp kits are crap as suggested by others.

  I’ve been using the match kits with the number1 removed for elastic up to grey hydro, will they take black hydro without any problems?
  
  To be honest I didn’t think the power kits were too bad, but then again my previous pole was a Maver and their power kits weighed a ton.

  So if CK5’S and 10’s are crap and the only way forward is to use match top threes with No 1 removed, I presume purple hydro through these is OK?
  I’ve recently smashed two power tops – originals supplied with the Tourney Pro using purple hydo.
  I can’t imagine the match tops coping any better!

  Ive recently brought a Daiwa pole and have not use a power kit yet, just use the match kits with the number 1 taken out for everything!

  I only use Big Bores and have never had one break.
  
  Ive used Red Hydro, and 22+ solid set tight in extreme situations and the Big Bore kits cope easily.

  Just match kits and use with 16 solid or Middy 18 – 20 solid.

  I wouldnt go heavier than black hydro on a match kit.
  
  I’ve seen loads snapped with people using 17H etc, they just cant take it
  
  The CTK 5s are ok, cut them back to same lenth as match kits and use double 10 or 12 and they are not as heavy and unbalanced as youd think
  
  with red hydro etc they are shite

  The only Daiwa kits worth using are the match kits with the number 2’s bushed, all the other kits are far inferior!
  
  I use my match kits with a 1m length of red hydro set super tight fishin for double figure fish every week and have never had one fail on me!
  
  So as for they cant take it…..that is a load of nonsense!

  I have been using the generic match kits with the no.1 removed with Purple Hydro for last couple years, not problems or breakages to date!
