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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 🤔
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
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 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. 😊😊
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
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
@@MatchFishingFilms thanks for the reply much appreciated … by the way … your phrase ‘accept what the peg gives you’ has stopped me panicking 😂 so often … last Sunday after 3 1/2 hours I hadn’t caught anything and I seriously thought I would blank. With those words in my head I plumbed up 4 foot fed some micros and corn and in the last 1 1/2 hours I bagged up to the dismay of my club members around the lake. Came second that day. Thanks for your content
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
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.
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 .
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.
I have an X50 and Margin and love them. For future though remember if you get the x50, x70, carp or x90 that the superium Margin 8.5m pole also uses the same mandrel, which means for an extra £339 you get 3 carp top kits and the No3, No4 and No5 sections are also interchangeable with it for spares (which is a bargain cost wise plus very useful if you fish deep venues@@MikeyDunn
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 😂😂😂
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
@@MatchFishingFilms I'm currently in the lower end of the bracket with poles, I have a Matrix MTX2 (I love it) but would def go for the Carp as my next pole. Or, if I could really push it (and convince the wife) the Guru 900 package
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
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 ?
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?
Following on from your comment and video, I have also bought the superium carp to go alongside my X70 and well happy with my choice. Love my X70 and the carp is brilliant 😀
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
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
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.
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.
Great feedback. I was never comfortable with the X90 whenever I used it, be interesting what they do with the next models they produce in the coming years.
@@MatchFishingFilms now i might b on to something here . As the x10 20 n 30 are different size section at think its no6 or 7 sections are different to x70. Now i think the x10 20 n 30 models are re vaped xs poles cus for reasons tbey mandrills are the as xs series not x superium . But i tryed my mates n at 13m man its decent if i didnt av a top range model i wud go for the x20 as at 13m most people wudnt notice the difference. 14.5m another story im affraid . It frustrates me with the last sections of every pole in the desgin. Feels like they gave up on the project on the last section. If you get my drift.
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
@@MatchFishingFilms I understand where your coming from but again my experience has been shocking I’m back using an 15 year old Diawa g20 because Preston aren’t doing anything about it and the sections are impossible to find and are stupidly expensive wouldn’t buy anything from them again if I’m honest . Keep up the good videos pal
@williamrebera9102 I know when I was there all customer service enquiries had to be handled through the shop the product was purchased from. Doesn't help you of course. I'll pass this on and see if we can get somewhere with it. But can't promise anything 👍
Been in touch, Adam rumble wants to hear from you. If you can email him at arumble@ratheroutdoors.com he will hopefully be able to get somewhere for you
i owman old garbolino g796 pole it came with so many top kits power and match thats why i never got rid of it if poles had an even balance of match and carp kits then maybe i would upgrade but to be fare a lot of poles only come with maybe 1 match kit unless im looking at the wrong poles@@MatchFishingFilms
They are just more versatile you can elasticate poles for whatever your preference light or heavy elastic with different top kits. Or if you want to go real light you have long whips for straight to hand fine fishing 👍
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...

Definitely worth checking one out. If you can head to a pole alley then go for it. Lots to consider
If you can afford it I'd always go with the better pole, I didn't a few years back and regretted it.

Thanks for the comments 👍
Great review Joe,
Have an X20 and X70 and your spot on about top kit puller needing moved up about 8-10 inches 👍
Thanks 👍I don't mind where they are but as a running improvement moving them up a touch would be a good one for my taste
Nice one Joe. Informative and objective. Anyone considering buying a new pole should watch this. It's FREE INFORMATION! And very much appreciated!
I appreciate that!
Nice to hear your comments Joe,

Great poles those! I always fancied a MAP ultra back in the day!
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.
I'd strongly agree 🤣
I think people need to start tagging/messaging Daiwa…. 🎣
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
Cant go wrong with a G90
I own a G50 and a G90 great poles well worth the money
Brilliant honest video Joe, please do the same honest review of the Preston Supera feeder rods (original ones) 👌
I don't really want to become the reviews guy but I get so many people asking about my poles that I felt it was worth a detailed vid 👍
I bought this about 4 weeks ago from angling direct for 1800 pounds an I love it.
Really good pole 👍
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.
I had a few of the absolute models when the poles were made by reglass. ONE xS Absolute 12/14 but the modern poles are in another league
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.

👍that's the hardest bit for me. I'd be tempted to try something new in 2024 as I'm sure it would make good content. But it's hard to change

Sounds great! Also sounds like how I choose between them
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).
To be honest a bit like this review, I've had pi reels now for 5years since centris first arrived and haven't felt the need to change at all 👍
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
I think the Daiwa poles offer an awful lot. Great on the second hand market too
I'm sticking with my daiwa whisker xls. Read your review on it, bought it and I've never looked back.
Great poles

@williamrebera9102 I know when I was there all customer service enquiries had to be handled through the shop the product was purchased from. Doesn't help you of course.
I'll pass this on and see if we can get somewhere with it. But can't promise anything 👍
@@MatchFishingFilms cheers pal appreciate it your an absolute gent
Been in touch, Adam rumble wants to hear from you. If you can email him at arumble@ratheroutdoors.com he will hopefully be able to get somewhere for you
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
Sign of the times I'm afraid. The sales figures for silverfish poles just aren't there sadly
i owman old garbolino g796 pole it came with so many top kits power and match thats why i never got rid of it if poles had an even balance of match and carp kits then maybe i would upgrade but to be fare a lot of poles only come with maybe 1 match kit unless im looking at the wrong poles@@MatchFishingFilms
They are just more versatile you can elasticate poles for whatever your preference light or heavy elastic with different top kits. Or if you want to go real light you have long whips for straight to hand fine fishing 👍
hang on a sec Joe are you saying that those with affiliations are not honest ? (joke)
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...
