The elite carp with match top4s or 5s is perfect for Ireland. Its balance is excellent and with match kits the pole is 13m without the dolly butt. In all fairness its heavy at 14.5m but for fishing in the wind here balance is more important.
I used one to come second at this European Police Champs four weeks ago in the wind on Lough Muckno and guess what I won, another one. 🙂 🙂 🙂
Its comparable ot the Elite 97 carp which is a €3000 european model.
Im not sure that the power kits are bushed, i dont think so to be honest. I think a maver no3 fits them.
