        Adivse from Garbo owners, as to what the two kit types will stand up to.
        Gonna be ordering some extra kits, just wanted peoples opinions on what you can use in em?
        Cheers, Andy

          There’s a thread on MFS about the matchlites Andy and a few of them have been busting them it looks like they ain’t up to carping.

            Just been chatting to one of the Elton lads, who reckons up to 12 laggy on the match and anything heavier on the powers.
            To be fair, the power lites kits do seem very good, so dont think it will make much difference.
            Cant wait to get the GMAX 1000 now!!

                    I use my Lite tops for up to 11h but beyond that I use the powers. You could put 13h or similar (grey Hydro) in them if you’re carefull, but with the extra kits why chance it.

                      i only use up to a no 5 through my matchlites but i only cut them back an inch i think you could get away with a soft set grey hydro/red hollo through them as long as you cut them back far enough. i have got a load of powerlites for my heavy stuff

                        Neil please start doing mail order from your tackle shop as I tried to order some kits today but the guy said you dont do mail order 🙁
                        Your the only decent garbo tackle dealer local to me but your still an hours drive away
