G Max 1000 on the Garbo Website

[TF_piperpilot]

Stiffer/More Balanced/Stronger. So it must be better then the G10. Or is it. Roll on April,

[TF_Nigel.]

Your on the ball Ron!
It isent even out yet!

[TF_piperpilot]

Personally I can’t wait to get my hands on one. Interested in finding out just how it can be better then my old!!!! G10,

[TF_Nigel.]

I spoke to DC last week about it, and he was raving about it, saying how good it was!

[TF_Matchcarp]

Where is the link? – I don’t see no new pole ~naughty

[TF_cheffieVRSParticipant]

I am led to believe it is made on a new mandril! so no chance of swapping sections!!!!!!!!

[TF_Matchcarp]

Found it ……..

http://www.garbolinouk.co.uk/poles/competition-poles/476/g-max-1000-16m-pole-available-april-2010/

[TF_piperpilot]

By the sound of it only the top kits interchange,

[TF_cheffieVRSParticipant]

i am also led to believe that they are not making any more G10’s ????

[TF_stu.s]

Only 10 sections at 16.2 m? is this a first or have they done away with the usual number one section?
Sounds pretty impresive from the weight figures too.~think

[TF_craigm]

Yes i’ve been told they have stopped production of the G10 and the new Gmax 1000 is on the same mandrel as the others in the Gmax range so only the top kits will fit from the old range. I also believe the new 1000 is heavier than the G10 by about 70g.
I think there may be an opening here for a Garbolino back support.

Craigm Z9 for sale lol~think

It uses the match-lite kits which are only 2 sections rather than 3 sections (for the same length)

[TF_youngy]

so they bring the G10 out and say ” its the best pole ever” then they stop making sections for it?…Very poor from Garbolino imo. i have a G10, only bought it last year. I was under the impression that it would be supported for at least the next 5 years.
Maybe time to move to a different make pole, with better support!!

[TF_neil g]

Youngy who said they are stopping making sections for G10.
They will be stocking G10 sections for the for see able future.
You can still get secions for Garbolino Poles that were stopped being current models after 5years within 5 days of ordering.I have just ordered a 13 mtr section for a g995 and recieved it within 4 day Weds – Monday

[TF_Joe Carass]

did they really need to make anything stiffer than the G10??? surely making something stiffer will cause more breakages??? i broke mine so many times and i just put it down to the fact tht it was too stiff, got a much softer pole now and had no problems whatsoever???

[TF_neil g]

Youngy just spoke to Darren Cox this min and he asures me they will still be supplying and making sections for the G series for the next 7-9 years. period

[TF_baitchefParticipant]

Dont tell me…..its lighter, stiffer, stronger and better balanced. LOL.

[tournament_pro]

I agree with the stiffness comment.

For big fish I think the G10 was too brittle, no give at all. I know a few people who’ve broken them a few times.

TPro might not be worlds stiffest pole but after 5 years and an odd fish, its never given me a minutes trouble.

Dave Brettle loves Garbolino LOL

[TF_Matchcarp]

We are starting the old chestnuts again who’s pole is best – If you want one, buy one – If your preference is for another manufacturer then stick with them – Simple – I’m sure Garbolino will have done their homework and no matter how good bad or indifferent people find it you can be sure of one thing – They will sell a boat load and I’ll be one of them in that que ~clap

[TF_Joe Carass]

not slagging anything just asking if they really need a pole stiffer than a g10???

[TF_Baku BlankerParticipant]

tournament pro I have my G10 since they came out and had carp to 20 lb on it, and never broke a section. ~think

[TF_Joe Carass]

to be fair tho catching carp aint a test these days is it, u lift the pole a fraction, keep the pole low use elastics tht stretch well, ship back over 2 rollers etc i never evert had a problem with mine when carping, it was fantastic for tht, but take it on a deep venue like the don or the stainy tht i fish a lot and the 11,13 and 14.5m sections just surrendered on the strike. must be due to how stiff it is.

[tournament_pro]

Exactly, carp fishing with hollow elastic these days hardly exerts any force on the pole. Striking is minimal and only the top kits see any real pressure

if the 11,13 14.5m sections are falling in half then thats not good as it would do your head in.

Always remember watching a bob nudd video fishing in Ireland, he said he doesnt use his best pole when fishing 11m to hand as it doesnt have any give and would blow up

PS Am not slagging garbolino off either, just making a point that the G10 is as stiff a pole as anyone would ever want.

Matchcarp – I was actually thinking of getting one if its as good as it sounds, ill let you lot test it first

[TF_diddy123]

i have never had a section go striking on deep venues ie glos cut(12-15ft)or local rivers and lakes and i’m a animal with my gear.
before any of u say i’m just saying it coz i’m sponsered by them, i always use my kit and if it failed i would be the first to moan.

[TF_Mike Herrington]

G10 wanted…no need for top kits, you can use them for the GMAX1000.

[TF_baitchefParticipant]

Good cast.

[TF_Matchcarp]

No problem Andy – I’m sure I wont be disappointed – I’m also sure it’s time you traded in your old pole, you have had it long enough ………..

[TF_billy the squidParticipant]

I don’t understand!, stiff poles are a snap hazzard,?.

[TF_Joe Carass]

hey mate i grafted like f**k to pay for tht pole and all it did was let me down so surely im entitled to a moan aswell???

[TF_billy the squidParticipant]

Like i said i don’t understand ,,, it’s ace it’s ace it’s ace it’s ace it’s ace it’s ace it’s ace i hate the french, but this thing is ace why lie?

[TF_Joe Carass]

lie about what?

[TF_billy the squidParticipant]

snapping when striking!

[TF_Baku BlankerParticipant]

Joe you grafted thought you worked as a sparky lol~think

[TF_Joe Carass]

because i did 2 14.5m sections when striking, 2 13m sections when striking and 2 11m sections guess what while striking!!!!

ha ha baku ye your right lol

[TF_Joe Carass]

o no i have lied about one thing, one of the 14.5m was when slapping my rig on bollingey….my bad

[TF_Johnny Mac]

Why are you saying Joe is lying billy???

[TF_billy the squidParticipant]

.

[TF_Joe Carass]

must have all been faulty i reckon~clap

[TF_Dodge]

Whats a metal edged tipex pen ?

[TF_billy the squidParticipant]

just to clear up,, my comment about chucking poles around like spoilt 10 yr olds was not aimed at anyone, just a figure of speach,, and i’m not calling anyone a liar just sticking up for my baby.

[TF_Joe Carass]

oh so the whole im a liar thing, i imagined that???

[TF_billy the squidParticipant]

.

[TF_Joe Carass]

righto then, cant be bothered arguing about it.

I use these pens for marking my pole,have done for the last 6 years,never had any problems with it scoring sections and them breaking,thats on a TP and an Aristocrat.Mostly on tops 3s and 4s.

[TF_MarkT]

It does sound abit outthere tipex causing sections to break!!!!

Never heard that one before.

billy – I reckon your a bit out of order, well, no, completely out of order

Av known Joe a few years, whilst you can accuse him of being a drawbag parked on island12 he certainly isnt a lair, and am sure he’s got far better things to do that make up stories about breaking his pole 6 times

am on my 3rd TPro cheeky sod! lol

keep selling them off as individual sections and getting a ‘new’ second hand one. Deffo best way to do it! I got £1300 for my old one in total and as a pole itself it was prob worth about 600 it was a bit carnaged.

[TF_mp.milo]

So what effect does using a pole support have,if you are fishing 16mtrs and have 15.5 mtrs in front of you resting on a 1″ piece of metal.The pressure on that piece of carbon must be immense.

I had a cm90 years ago and broke 3 14,5 sections and 1 no 13 mtr sect in the space of 3 weeks,all of them just snapped clean in half,the 13 mtr section went while cupping in.Rest of the pole was as solid as a rock.Never had it before with a pole and never had it happen since.

[TF_billy the squidParticipant]

[TF_bagging machineParticipant]

Answer Lift dont Strike.

[tournament_pro]

who rests their pole on a 1″ metal bar.

pole supports are foam coated, if they caused so much trouble im sure noone would use one

[TF_Johnny Mac]

Billy, maybe now would be a good time to stop digging??? ~think

[TF_billy the squidParticipant]

lol just for fun..

Thats what im saying mate,how many people use pole rests with no problem week in and week out.
They may have a layer of foam on them but under that is metal.

i take it back.

you probably put a lot more pressure on your pole by elbow striking at 14-16m than using pole rests, they are quite well padded

[TF_mp.milo]

Dont know mate,dont elbow strike,always use my knee.

[TF_billy the squidParticipant]

can i have some cheap uns for sticking up for em?

[TF_C.A.T.C.H.Participant]

Love my G10 and to date never broke a section.
Its a pig in the wind mind but what pole isnt.
If the new pole is stiffer,lighter,stronger,better balanced. Then all I can suggest is sell your poles as this baby musy be THE pole to have.
But dont Maver say all this S**T every year when they bring out a NEW range of BETTER than before poles. LOL.

g10 850gr at 13m gmax1000 870gr 13m,i may be wrong but thats not lighter.if its stiffer and stronger than g10,it will be best used indoors.

and thats without any end tackle.

[tournament_pro]

never understand people who say the G10 is too heavy.

Am hardly well built yet av had hold of one at 16m could be still sat holding it now (would have prob gone 2 month without a bite though lol)

Good crack there Billy Squid – Really good read – you certainly bagged up from all those bites ~clap

[align=center:jfrad9il]GARBOLINO to the MAX[/align:jfrad9il]

[TF_piperpilot]

I’d personally like to see the G Max 1000 up against the Pro X which I rate 100%. Shame that only the G Max and G10 top kits interchange but maybe now we’ll see a few G10 sections being sold off for spares,

[TF_redarmy]

Also broke a 13mt g10 section clean in half and was only catching silvers on a commy canal

[TF_hempmaster]

Anyone looking to upgrade shortly ,please give me a pm if wish to sell “old” garbo g series such as super g8.Still after “low mileage” s/hand one which we can bias towards silvers for my youngest lad as newest range of poles are above budget,cheers.

[TF_Mike Herrington]

I asked first…wanted G10..what have you got….you can keep the top kits.

[TF_piperpilot]

It’s a bit early yet as the G/M 1000 isn’t out until April,

[TF_piperpilot]

I do wonder just how much better????? poles can get as Surely the design limits of Carbon must be within sight,

[TF_Mike Herrington]

from my point of view..for a pole to get stronger, it has to get heavier.
