Preston Innovations Superium X75 16m Pole

Preston Innovations Superium X75 16m Pole

At Gerry’s Fishing, we often get asked which pole in the Superium line-up hits that “sweet spot” between professional performance and rugged durability. The answer is almost always the Preston Innovations Superium X75. Sitting just below the flagship X95, the X75 is a high-performance machine designed for the serious match angler who needs a pole capable of handling massive weights on commercials while remaining stiff enough for delicate silverfish work on natural venues.

Constructed from a refined blend of high-modulus carbon, the X75 offers incredible rigidity at its full 16-meter length. It’s a “true” 16m pole, meaning it doesn’t lose its composure or become “floppy” when you add the final sections. With the addition of Dura Wrap technology at the key stress points and joints, this pole is built to survive the high-intensity environment of modern match fishing.

Pro Tip: Mastering the “Short Kit” Setup

Gerry’s Pro Tip: The X75 package includes those brilliant F1 Short Grey Kits. Many anglers overlook these, but they are a game-changer for speed. Because they are shorter and stiffer than a standard top kit, they drastically improve the “strike” response. If you’re fishing for F1s or small carp in 3–5 feet of water, use the short kits to tighten up your control. The grey finish also prevents fish from spotting the pole overhead in shallow water, giving you that extra edge when the sun is out.

Where to Use the X75

• Big Weight Commercials: The X75 is arguably the best “power” match pole in the range. If you’re expecting 200lb+ bags of carp, the reinforced sections give you the confidence to ship back under pressure.

• Open Water Silverfish: At 13m or 14.5m, this pole is incredibly light and stiff, making it perfect for flicking out light rigs for skimmers and roach on windsier days.

• The Margins: While it’s a 16m pole, the strength in the lower sections means you can confidently use it with heavy elastic down the edge for “monsters” in the final hour of a match.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Is the X75 too heavy to fish at 16 meters all day?

A: Not at all. While the X95 is lighter, the X75 is exceptionally well-balanced. If you use a proper pole support or a front bar, fishing at 16m is comfortable for the duration of a standard five-hour match.

Q: What is “Dura Wrap” and why does it matter?

A: Dura Wrap is a reinforcement layer of carbon applied to the female ends of the sections. These are the areas most prone to cracking or wearing down from constant shipping. This technology ensures the joints stay tight and the pole lasts for years, not just seasons.

Q: Are the top kits “Side Pulla” ready?

A: Yes. Every kit in the package (except the Kup Kit) comes pre-fitted with the Preston Roller Pulla system and a high-quality PTFE internal bush. You just need to add your choice of elastic.

Q: Can I buy individual sections if I break one?

A: Definitely. As a major Preston Innovations stockist, Gerry’s Fishing can source individual replacement sections for the X75, ensuring your investment is protected if an accident happens on the bank.
