I have used the XZ 65-3 since it xame out for everything , landed loads of doubles wirh it and never had an issue with its strength. And you get them for around £2650
May I ask if it has a heavy elastics rating or max you would feel comfortable it can handle ??.. I know that's not a thing but only way I can describe.. intending for 6lb carp or less /f1 fishing against lillies. Cheers
@glitchyhitchy1811 Found this on another review mate, hope it helps?....."It comes with a spares package that offers a couple of Carp top-2 kits with a 22 maxim elastic rating and a single maximum 16 elastic match kit that can be found inside the pole." That was in an Angling Times review for the pole.
