I agree with billy whizz,I have a MAP 18/20 great for the rivers, all be it a bit heavy for 5 hours of match fishing.

The MAP & other makes were marketed as well as for fishing big sticks or the bolognese on rivers, for use on carp pools, fishing down the margins with a pole float on for big fish. I've never used mine for that, just another marketing ploy to sell them.
Remember the hype surrounding the MAP Bolo with the locking collar?
I've never seen one of them in use on carp pools either, but they were endorsed by high profile anglers also

I have seen one of my clubmates use his 18/20 for carp & whilst it didn't break, he was playing the fish for ever & a day
