Our Friction free finish will enable you to fish faster. Creating a slick finish on each section that makes shipping back significantly quicker, this is a must-have on any competition pole. |

All of our top end poles are made using autoclave technology. This is available to very few companies and involves curing the carbon under high pressure, literally driving tiny air bubbles that cause imperfections out of the section. |

MMS technology is used to beef up the critical no.2 and no.3 sections that get the most punishment. These joints are specially coated inside and out to reduce joint wear by up to 35%. So look out for the reassurance of MMS logo for long-life joints. |

Ultra Stratification Technology gives greatly improved longitudinal stiffness and radial strength where you need it the most. Essential on long match poles where every gram counts. |
See the Pole Range or read on for the MAP Pole story
When we develop poles we want them to offer versatility and flexibility, and ensure that they are totally fishable at there longest length. All the poles within our range offer strength, lightness and stiffness, so no matter what model you select you know that it will be totally suited to the job you want it to do. Every pole we develop is fully tested by our Product Development Team and our Consultants. Each model can take between one and three years of tinkering before we are happy that they are ready for release. Improvements are made with every step of the development, until we are all totally satisfied that the stiffness, strength and balance is correct and suited to the demands of the UK market. MAP poles are known for their high level of innovative features, making our poles stand out from the crowd, by making your fishing much easier. For example most companies only offer a Friction free finish (ASG) on there flagship poles, a feature we specify on poles from as little as £299!
We have added four new models to our range for 2007/8, and believe that they are the best MAP poles to date. The Definition has taken the market by storm, with incredible demand for this mid-priced pole. After 12 months of development, we feel that this ultra high modulus competition pole is one of the best purposely designed commercial poles available. It’s a pole you can have full confidence when big weights are on the cards. Not only is it incredible strong, but it is also one of the most rigid poles we have ever produced.
To complement the Definition comes the Exorcist. This is a beast of a pole, designed to tackle big weights of carp on commercials. The section walls are incredible strong, and at its full length perfectly balanced. When this pole hit the market only a few months ago, retailers told us it was one of the strongest poles they have ever seen. It also comes supplied with an awesome spares package of 7 tops kits in total. It’s a pole that will handle double figure carp with ease, but is still light and well balanced enough to catch silver fish. All this for only £699!
We have added the Interceptor Carp to our sub - £350 pole range. Again it’s been designed to tackle hard fighting carp, but is also at home on silver fish venues.An ideal go-anywhere pole for the angler fishing a variety of venues.
Last, but not least, is the new 14.5m Supremacy, which has got to be seen to be believed. A great pole that will handle anything you want to throw at it, making it the perfect all rounder and the ideal starter pole for anglers who do not need to go to 16 metres.
So, no matter what kind of pole you are looking for, you should be able to find one to suit your budget with our range, as no other company offers such the breadth of range at such a wide range of prices. Check out the full range at your local MAP Pro-Dealer, put them up against the competition, and we think you will agree that our commitment to quality and performance shines through.
‘’I can honestly say that there is not a better pole on the market for commercial carp fishing.’’

NEW Parabolix STI Competition
The Parabolix STI is not only strong, it’s incredibly light. It weighs an incredible 560 grams at 11.5m and an amazing 780 grams at 13.0m. It’s been designed as an all-round match-carp pole suitable for use with elastics up to number 16 or 12/20 Hollow Elastic with the power kits and no12 with the standard kits.
The short number-four section offers even more rigidity for fishing shallow long or in a wind. Just like we did with the TKS range of poles, we have also paid special attention to the Power kits. We wanted the Power kits to be a sensible length, as extensive research and testing found that Power Kits offered by most of our competitors were simply too long for the kind of fishing we do in the UK. Longer Power Kits are fine if you fish deep venues, however most commercial venues within the UK are no more than eight feet deep, and most fishing is done either by fishing short, in the margins or fishing shallow. Both the new Match Kits and Power Kits will also interchange with the original Parabolix pole.The finish on the pole is exceptional and makes shipping easy, even in wet weather. Unlike other models within our range, this new friction free finish also runs the full length of the pole. Not only is this an exceptional pole, you also get an exceptional spares package supplied with it. It’s supplied with 8 kits in total, including the top 3 kit in the pole. The Parbolix STI competition pole does everything that you need it to do, and we recommend you to take a look at it if you’re in the market for a new top-of-the-range pole. We think you’ll be impressed.

Supremacy 14.5m
New to the MAP pole range is the 14.5m SUPREMACY. This new pole has again been designed to tackle large fish in commercials fisheries. Pick up this pole and the first thing you will notice is the section wall strength. We have ensured every section (from tip to butt) has been reinforced using the one of the best quality carbons available. It’s not only strong, but is also incredibly rigid. At 13.0m it’s outstanding, and at 14.5m it feels like a pole costing twice as much. With match weights getting dramatically bigger each year, it’s important that we design a pole that’s up to the task. The Supremacy is more than match for any commercial venue in the country.
