Diawa Tournament Professional

I have had the tournament professional for a few months now and it it the best pole i have ever used. As much as i like the pole i believe it has one main let down. This is that the power kits that are supplied with the pole really do let down the balance of the pole. For this reason i believe that the pole should be supplied with more match kits and the number one should be removed.  However i cannot comment on the reliability of the power kits as i haven't used them for carp fishing yet.

what the pole loses in weight though it more then makes up with on the responce it gives you on the strike. Its a very stiff pole without the short four in and is unbelieveable.

I have had a few boxes but i have to say this is the best i have ever used due to its stability in the water due to the 6 legs and also the attachments make life easy when sat in the water. The main thing that lets the boxes down is its weight as it takes a barrow or the wheel kit to walk a distance with it and the rest of your gear.

The accessories mean you can adapt your box to suit your needs. The winder trays allow you to carry a wider selection of rigs to the bank and adapt to different situations at speed. These can be added whenever you have spare money which means you can have one box yet have a stax for every type of venue you may incounter if you wanted.

The durability seems excellent also, i have yet to hear of a break in one that is not the owners fault.

All in all i love the box and would not at this moment change it for any other box on the market.
