Preston Innovations Superium X35 16m Pole

Preston Innovations Superium X35 16m Pole

At Gerry’s Fishing, we recognize that not every angler needs a flagship price tag to get flagship performance. The Preston Innovations Superium X35 is the ultimate “bridge” pole—offering the incredible reach of a full 16-meter setup with the rugged durability required for everyday club matches and heavy-duty commercial carping.

The X35 is built using high-quality Japanese carbon fibre, ensuring that while it is robust, it remains impressively stiff and easy to handle even at longer lengths. It is the perfect choice for the angler who wants a versatile, all-round tool that can transition from delicate silverfish work on a canal to hauling double-figure carp from a commercial margin without breaking a sweat.

Pro Tip: The Balanced Approach

Gerry’s Pro Tip: At 16 meters, the X35 is surprisingly manageable, but to truly maximize its performance, pay attention to your shipping technique. Use a high-quality double pole roller setup to support the weight. Because the X35 features the Easy-Ship finish, the pole will glide through the rollers with minimal effort. Also, don’t forget to utilize the built-in depth markers on the top kits; being able to instantly see if you are fishing 2 inches off the bottom can be the difference between a dry net and a match win.

Where to Use the X35

• Club Matches: The X35 is the king of versatility. It’s tough enough to take the knocks of a busy match calendar while providing the length needed to reach far-bank features.

• Commercial Carp Lakes: With the included Carp Kits, this pole is more than capable of handling heavy elastics (up to size 20) for targeting large carp in open water or down the margins.

• Natural Venues: Its rigidity makes it an excellent tool for silverfish on rivers or lakes, providing the crisp strike response needed to hook fast-biting roach and dace.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Are the top kits interchangeable with other Superium poles?

A: Yes! One of the biggest selling points of the Superium range is that every top kit is identical in profile. Whether you have an X35 or an X95, the kits will fit perfectly. This makes it easy to upgrade your pole in the future without needing to buy new kits.

Q: How strong is the X35 compared to the higher-end models?

A: Because the X35 uses slightly more carbon in its construction than the ultra-light flagship models, it is actually incredibly robust. It is often the preferred choice for anglers who fish “rougher” venues where the pole might take a few more knocks.

Q: Do I need to buy bushes or pullers separately?

A: No. Every top kit in the X35 package comes pre-fitted with Internal PTFE bushes and the Preston Roller Pulla system. You just need to choose your elastic and you’re ready to go.

Q: Does it come with a protection case?

A: Yes, the X35 is supplied with the Preston Hardcase Pole Safe. This is a rigid, high-protection case that keeps your pole and kits safe from impact damage during transit in your car or van.
