thinking of buying colmic match x 5000,does anybody have information on elastic rating and strength of pole

davelincs

mick, i have been using one for 4 weeks now,and i must say it is an excellent pole,but i only use mine for rivers and canals as i do not fish carp venues, but i know for a fact that rob hitchens uses one and he uses the extra power top kit in his, my tackle dealer uses the same power kit on his colmic 707 and has the 20-22 colmic elastic in that,
but going back to the pole i can highly reccomend it

thanks a lot dave, had a daiwa g8 for last 8 months totally satisfied with performanceof pole,colmic is being bought as a present and icannot decide between that and a tourny pro.

i sold my tourney pro, to fund the colmic , for the sort of fishing i do mick the colmic is a lot better pole
