Preston Innovations Superium X70 - A Retrospective 

do more of these mate, we all love a bit of tackle talk lol

Now that's what I call a proper UNBIASED and HONEST review. I have been contemplating for a long while to upgrade from my Middy i20 14.5m Pole. Mainly due to the lack of spares and extra's available. Also the fact that you have to drill and fit the Puller Bungs and cut the Tops back to fit the bushes is in my opinion no longer acceptable. I am currently looking at the X50 and the X70 with after your appraisal is swinging to the X70. I am so pleased by the info you gave regarding pro's and con's Joe. Thanks so much and keep up the video's. Cheers

Joe excellent vid. In many ways its breath of fresh air in that you've given your honest opinion on pole that you've had for some time and not influenced by employment or sponsorship issues. The fact that your keeping with it is a testament to the pole. I had the chance to waggle all the superium poles not long after they had been put on sale. My local tackle shop with the help of Will Freeman put on a Preston pole day. I myself bought the carp pole as my back up pole to my main pole an original MTX4 which I must say has been awsome in having landed Larford hippos and Bolingy units lol. /its going to be interesting to see what the next major development in pole design is going to be.

Great review Joe, Have an X20 and X70 and your spot on about top kit puller needing moved up about 8-10 inches 👍

Had my heart set on an X70 mainly after watching your previous video on it. Went to a pole alley and ended up buying a G90. In my hands the G90 just felt slightly better also spares are easier to get for diawa poles. That was one of the main selling points. Not only that everyone I spoke to told me to get Daiwa

Nice one Joe. Informative and objective. Anyone considering buying a new pole should watch this. It's FREE INFORMATION! And very much appreciated!

Nice to hear your comments Joe, I have the Spectron Competition, Spectron Power, and oridional Tourney pro. Use the power mostly but just like you don't think I could justify changing. These pole cover everything I want. Also have A MAP matchtek ultra used for canal fishing.

Brilliant honest video Joe, please do the same honest review of the Preston Supera feeder rods (original ones) 👌

Good review and observations and your honest look at what could improve the Preston poles and what else catches your eye is interesting. Over time a lot of anglers get wedded to a particular brand and invested in it such that changing brands can be prohibitively expensive due to the amount of spares they have. I do like that there isn’t a best Pole, it’s down to the individual, their preferences and priorities.

I know your in the fishing industry already but Daiwa needs to give you a pole. All the good videos, tips and help you give people you deserve it.

Great quality content Joe! Not for me, however, if you are going down the tackle review avenue I’d be interested in hearing more about boxes, rods and reels. Appreciate that you can’t please all the people. 😊😊

I bought this about 4 weeks ago from angling direct for 1800 pounds an I love it.

Great video Joe, I am the same as you as I have the x70 and the carp and I use the carp at venues with bigger fish, the x70 comes out at venues that need to be fished at around 14 to 16 metres or with lots of f1s or smaller fish. Keep up the good work mate 🎣tight lines.

I couldn't agree more about how good these poles are Joe I was always a daiwa man but the superium changed me price is exceptional. The x70 is miles better than the daiwa G90 and daiwa whisker and is on par with the tournament x obviously once you get up to the air and so on there's nothing better

great bit kit joe x70 ,for the price it does everything that i need fishing wise bream carp skimmers ,don’t use it at 16.5mts much but its there if i need it ,keep the tackle talk coming ,hope the jobs going well

two of us have them in our club.. both of us chosing the opposite of what we had before with myself the 70 and Kevin the Carp.. would I swap with him NO.. would he swap with me NO.. Whichever one someone decides to go for they'll love it 💪💙 great video thanks Joe

Hi Joe nice little video never had a Preston pole so can't comment on their performance but I a few of the lads that our open Sunday matches have Preston poles.

Brill and honest video ... Here we go ... I am looking at purchasing a quality pole in the very near future, and so to the eternal Q? how much better is the 70 over a 50? Is the extra five to six hundred justifiable for my type of fishing. I am only pleasure fishing so don't need the competitive edge. This has to be a very considered purchase for me as neither are in real world terms "cheap" well not for me. My thoughts are get a 50 then when funds are back up again get the superium 8.5 margin & butt as a second pole. This would then be ball park 70 money. I'm not an experienced pole user and of limited funds so whichever way I go it will probably be my last big purchase of this type, therefore I'd like to get it right. I'd be very happy to see any response from those that have used either.

Has to be said joe this does look a very good pole for Preston.I’ve had a lot of makes and I can’t fault browning. Lots of talk of the g90 here. I had a g20 once and thought it was dreadful and I can’t see the g90 being much of an upgrade on the g20 and g50 but plenty seem happy with them

This was my first ever pole had some monster carp out on it and the fact that the Superium Margin pole sections fit you can easily turn it into a margin pole if your in the big carp venues the only time it’s let me down was due to my own errors with lack of pole fishing experience like slipping over and putting my foot through my section 😂😂😂

just bought the x70 and margin after seeing your vid on it !!!! as well as handling x70 plus map tks 601 and daiwa g90 at 13m . all great poles .im happy with my choice and to be fair if you are happy and with your experience handling a vast array of poles why would i not be plus nufish your sponser dont make poles .

I'm sticking with my daiwa whisker xls. Read your review on it, bought it and I've never looked back.

My lad has the 70 & loves it

Great honest opinion, Joe. Keep up the good work👍

Hi. I’ve got the x70 and has a back up I have the response xs carp and I think there is very little difference only thing it the response has a better package with 3 dolly butts brilliant 👏🏻👏🏻 I wish I was wasn’t sold with the x70 not enough difference 🤔

Refreshing to get a long term review for a change, so thanks for that. Currently looking for a pole myself and have noticed the prices for the X50, Carp, X70 and X90 have just bumped up by £100 at least, which has kicked the X50 I was about settled on out of the "justifiable" range for me. I'm not expecting to fish at 16m much, but it'd be nice to have the option, so I think I'll save a bit and just get the X30 instead, I'm only pleasure fishing anyway.

Ive just bought the X50,but now thinking I should have gone for the Carp 🤷

Great honest review joe 👍👍

Take a look/review of your reels Joe, i struggle to convince myself to step away from Daiwa for my match reels (Shimano for carp/speci).

I am disabled and like you light but responsive is what I would use I am using the 10:5 m edge monster and I have extra top kits for silvers. When I can spend the extra I would get the x70

Nice Buddleia 🪻

Saving for the x70, was next to someone on a match, kept looking at his pole thinking how good it was,. End of match I had to see what pole it was, couldn’t believe it was x70. Thought it must have been a £3000+ pole

Sort of testament to how good the pole is if it's had a proper workout and passed about for testing A lot I go fishing with have the Carp version, and they all swear by it

Really enjoyed the vid but I couldn't take my eyes off your buddleia. Looking cracking this year given the way early summer started.

4:53 third time watching this review as I am probably getting one of these as my first 16m pole. Can I just ask, if it really light enough to fish at 16m … I’m asking as Ben from angling 4 u was saying it was heavy in his review. I’ll still be getting one either way but your honesty is greatly appreciated 👍 great vids all round thanks for all the great tips

Just bought the superium x70 . What elastic will the f1 top kits take please?

Nice honest review. Do you use the carp top kits for silverfish?

Joe I have the Response XS70 pole would you say the new X70 would be a big upgrade , find the XS70 a little heavy at 14.5m

Joe, would you say the X70 is capable of handling commercials where the odd double figure fish show up, as well as large bream and tench. I have seen numerous posts regarding the number 4 section blowing in daily use. Is it a good, strong all rounder or more of a silver fish pole?

fished a match today @ top 5 and hooked into a big carp that darted left, dropped pole into water and followed it left but had to put a bit of pressure on pole as top kit was getting near some bushes and instantly snapped number 4 right off in the middle. whats the chance of a warranty claim being successful ?

Hi Joe I currently have the x20 and would like to get a upgrade I mostly do open water carp fishing but i sometimes fish a snake stocked with carp. Would the carp pole be stiff and light enough to fish at 14.5m on a snake

Joe what about the garbolino poles you had in the past...

Hi Joe I am looking at the x50 or the carp what's best at 16 meters for balance/stiffness don't mind it being on the heavy side? Thanks

Love my x50 it was not to different to the x70 in my hands i have had one broken no3 wich was my fault and have had carp up to 24+

Ive had all of the top range superium poles from x50 thru to the x90. Think all the range r great poles. Like go says x70 at 13m n 14.5m your not gona get much better. At 16m it just seems wrong even at 16m x90 something just not wright . Now i think if they cud put the ideas from xs90 n x90 together think they cud work on them last sections. My opioin xs90 is lighter and probably stiffer at 13m.

Hi Joe, my current pole believe it or not is the old Protype 360 and is still going strong now and won me plenty of matches, However i am looking at a massive upgrade come Nov so at the min i am torn between either the Superium carp plus some short 3s and spare 4s or like you said the Daiwa Airity Pro is also looking tempting based on the packages as the top kits seem to be what anglers want, and Preston need to follow suit and offer a carp, F1 and match kits packages with each of the pole rather than 2 carp kits, 1 f1, 2 match if you get my drift, I did see someone sat next to me in a match with a brand new X70 at 2 wks old and he was shipping out with his kup kit and his no3 section just snapped towards the no 4 but i am not sure at the time if there was a faulty batch, Anyway i am looking at a one of upgrade so do i save some money and go for the carp or go for the Airity Pro with a good top kits package etc i am certainly looking tempted on this one.

how would you compare it to the mtx3

poles are to carp orientatad now used to be called roach poles now ats all side puller kits bungee elastic mugging slapping each to there own

I’ve got the superium carp and con honestly say it’s the worst pole I’ve ever used considering it’s a CARP pole should be able to handle big carp I’ve broken the 6th section believe it or not lifting into a 2lb F1 the number 3 section female end the carbon is delaminating i would 1 million percent go to diawa not only is the Preston pole awful I’ve tried contacting Preston and there not doing anything about it and have said they have no complaints procedure for me to complain it’s been used 8 times and is 7 months old

Never buy the maver reality pole.. I've had one just under a year and I've just had to buy another topkit the number 2 section is like paper mache .. spent more replacing topkits than I paid for pile of shit...
