I've just bought my first pole. I'm brand new to pole fishing. Just bought a Avanti 12.5m GTR Carbon pole and was just wondering if the top sections are put over or telescopic? Many thanks

When you receive it (I gather you must have sent for it), get the top two sections and try fitting the top section on to the second. If it fits OVER the thin end of the second it will be a PUT OVER, if it will not, slide the top inside the second - that's your TELE top two sections. Check to make sure if it will fit on the end of the second first - the top will naturally fit inside the second anyway. Any problems call Dragon Carp Direct at Chesterfield (phone number will be on website) - that's their HQ apparently.  |

Having had a look at the pole on the Dragon site, it looks like the top kits are put over, it does say that the top kits come pre elasticated, if you haven't received the pole yet, see if you can stipulate that the top kits and cupping kits are all the same length, and see if you can stipulate that the top kits are elasticated with your choice of elastics.

Wow! Mick and Zathras both looking on the Dragon Carp website- you'll both get a reputation you know- I know some Tackle Tarts on here that probably won't speak to either of you again!
Mick, not sure if DC will go the extra mile to cut top sections to size, last shop of theirs I went in they didnt really know difference between hard pellets and expanders!
Some half decent stuff at Dragon Carp but also loads of tat, just have to be careful what you buy (ive got plenty of the tat lol!)

I doubt they will customise the tops - they seem to buy them in complete. Well, been nice knowing you CB - never mind Mick and I can start our own club  |

just bought 2 universal top twos with elastic and pulla bungs about 6 weeks ago, had to shorten about 150mm to get the fit I wanted
but for £30-00 ish inc post they are quite good think I may get a couple more in the new year
then bought a cupping kit inc cups, its a bit brutal probably carry a bag of ground bait if you tried
but for 12 quid it does a job and its not as if you spend hours cupping out
