Daiwa Pro Power Kit 5.8mm 2pc 2.4m PTK5.8-BU

The Daiwa Pro Power Kit 5.8mm 2pc (PTK5.8-BU) is a heavy-duty, two-piece top kit engineered to deliver maximum strength, wall power, and control when targeting commercial carp.

Measuring 2.4m in length, this kit features an engineered taper designed specifically to enhance stiffness and responsiveness across the entire blank, eliminating unnecessary whip when shipping out heavy rigs. Built from ultra-high-grade carbon fiber, it comes factory-ready with a 5.8mm tip bore to take heavy elastics up to Daiwa Red Hydro (20 rating), a pre-fitted internal PTFE bush, a protective No.3 section nose cone, and Daiwa’s Dual Roller side puller system.

Where to Use

Heavy Commercial Carp Tactics: Built to cope with high-torque strain when steering double-digit carp away from snags, ropes, or margin vegetation.
Deep-Water Commercial Rigs: The full 2.4m 2-piece length provides the ideal drop-line clearance for deeper venues, deck fishing, and heavier floats.
High-Volume Commercial Feeding: Ideal when fishing heavy margins or mid-range lines where sudden, hard-fighting bites demand complete blank authority.

Pro Tip

Smooth Elastic Control Under Pressure: Take full advantage of the engineered taper and stiff blank profile by pairing this kit with a quality PTFE puller bead on your Red Hydro. When netting heavy carp, the extra rigidity keeps the pole tip stable overhead, allowing the Dual Roller side puller to handle the elastic tension smoothly without putting awkward bending stress on the carbon joint.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between this Pro Power kit and the Pro Power Cloud kit?

This standard Pro Power kit features Daiwa’s classic dark carbon finish throughout, whereas the Cloud version features a specialized light-grey finish designed to prevent shadows when fishing shallow clear water.

Do I need to trim the tip back to fit heavy elastics?

No trimming is required. The 5.8mm tip diameter comes factory-bushed, allowing you to thread size 20 hollow elastics like Red Hydro directly into the kit right out of the box.

Will this 2-piece kit fit older Daiwa pole models?

Yes, Daiwa uses a standardized top kit mandrel across their UK pole range, making this kit fully compatible with both current and legacy flagship models including the original Airity and Tournament series.
