Preston Innovations Superium X15 13m Pole

Preston Innovations Superium X15 13m Pole

For the angler looking to take their first serious step into the world of long pole fishing, or the club regular who needs a reliable, “no-nonsense” workhorse, Gerry’s Fishing presents the Preston Innovations Superium X15. This 13m model is the perfect entry point into the Superium family, offering the same high-end Japanese carbon technology and interchangeable kit system as its more expensive siblings, but at a price point that won’t break the bank.

Don’t let the “entry-level” label fool you. The X15 is impressively rigid and remarkably strong. It’s designed to be comfortable to hold at its full 13-meter length all day long, whether you’re picking off silverfish or wrestling with double-figure carp. With Dura Wrap technology at the joints, this pole is built to take the punishment of high-intensity commercial fishing while maintaining a professional feel.

Detailed Specifications

The Superium X15 Package

Preston has packed the X15 with a versatile selection of top kits, ensuring you are “match ready” for any venue from day one.

• 13m Superium X15 Pole (Match Kit pre-fitted)

   

• 2 x Carp Top Kits (2.4m)

Pro Tip: The “Step-Up” Strategy

Gerry’s Pro Tip: If you are moving up from a margin pole, the biggest change you’ll notice is the “reach.” Use the 13m Mini Extension not just for extra length, but for protection. It’s specifically reinforced to take the weight of your arm and elbow when shipping. Also, because the X15 is part of the Superium family, its kits are compatible with the entire range. If you decide to upgrade to an X55 or X75 in the future, your X15 kits will fit them perfectly, making this pole a fantastic long-term investment for your tackle bag.

 

Where to Use the X15

• Commercial Carp Venues: Pair the pole with the included Carp Kits and heavy hollow elastic to target commercial carp. The wall strength is more than capable of handling the “burst” runs of 10lb+ fish.

   

• F1 Snake Lakes: The included F1 Short Grey Kit is a game-changer. Use it in shallow water to prevent scaring fish with shadows, and enjoy the ultra-stiff strike response it provides.

   

• Silverfish & Naturals: When the going gets tough in winter, swap to the Match Kit. The X15’s rigidity allows you to use light rigs and fine elastics with total precision, helping you convert tiny bites into fish in the net.

   

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Is the X15 strong enough for big carp?

A: Absolutely. While it is refined, the X15 is built with “power” in mind. The sections are reinforced with Dura Wrap technology at the joints to prevent splitting under the high torque of a big fish.

Q: Do I need to buy a separate cupping kit?

A: No, the X15 package includes a dedicated Kup Kit. This allows you to feed accurately at exactly the same length you are fishing, which is the key to building a successful swim.

Q: How does the “Easy-Ship” finish work?

A: The pole features a smooth, anti-friction coating. This means even in damp or humid conditions, the pole won’t “stick” to your hands as you ship back to land a fish, ensuring your movements are always fluid and controlled.

Q: Does it fit into a standard holdall?

A: Yes, but you won’t need to worry about that—the X15 comes supplied with its own Deluxe Supera X 6 Tube Holdall. This high-quality luggage protects your sections and has plenty of room for extra top kits and accessories.
