It made sense to run the rule over the new 10m Edge Monster Margin on a lake holding plenty of big fish, where the next platform was far enough away to present the pole at its full 10m length. The Cedar strip lake at Decoy Lakes, near Peterborough, was perfect. Comes with 2 top kits that I decided to experiment with. Thought I’d try the Matrix Slik and opted to put green 16-18 in one and red 18-20 in the other. A bit heavy maybe, but I have NG Twin Core 14-16 in my main pole inter-lastics, so the Edge is kitted for munters and snags. The reason is quite simple – for some time Preston had been inundated with requests to bring out a longer 10m version of the Edge Monster to give that bit more reach along the bank and enable you to fish up against the next platform along on most commercial waters. If you start on topkit plus 3 for a few trips and then add the butt section after you are used to the feel of a pole, you will find it very pleasant to handle, although its heavy compared to a top end pole at the same length , the balance is very good. Accidental damage or misuse is not covered. For example damage caused by crushing, incorrectly fitted section or impact damage would not be considered for replacement.

Only one small diameter tube for an elasticated top kit. Solved this minor problem by nabbing a bigger tube out the garage. Unlike many pole top sections, the Preston Innovations Top 2 Kit is sold already fitted with revolutionary Roller Pulla system and comes pre-fitted with a PTFE bush.

Carp caught close in tend to scream off and fight hard and as such you need a polecapable of withstanding such a fight. The Edge Monster from Preston has been designed to extract hard fighting carp from the margins and is super strong yet lightweight, you can comfortably support the pole with one hand whilst reaching for your landing net or baiting your swim. I still find it hard to believe how much fun I’ve had with a pole at the bottom price point for a pole of reasonable quality. Of course, this isn’t a top-end pole, but it’s still very comfortable to hold over the full course of a match and not overly bouncy to fish with.

With that in mind, prepare to haul in match-winning carp down the edge during the last hour of your next matchwith Preston innovations brand-new margin pole, the Edge Monster.

Both these Top kits feature our revolutionary Roller Pulla system and come fitted with a PTFE bush, all are supplied in PVC tubes and a dedicated pole holdall for safe transit.

For example, drilling kits for puller systems would be considered as modification, even if the sections have reinforcement to allow this, it is at your risk! Fitting nose cones would also be considered as modification.

Without a proper re-design that would have made the pole overly bouncy and top-heavy, posing problems when fishing with a short line between float and pole. Tough, hard-wearing section walls are a given, as are top kits that can be used with the heaviest of hollow elastics without fear of an expensive carbon explosion.

With its mini extension, the 8.5m Edge Monster has a super strong 20+ elastic rating, impressive for a pole weighing just 474g. We have listed information below which explains what is covered under your manufacturers pole warranty. This is intended to help you understand what may or may not be covered and in no way affects you statuary rights under the sale of goods act or any other current legislation.The first thing I wanted to test was whether that extra stiffness had turned the Edge Monster from the UK’s best-selling margin pole into an elongated broom handle, with all the balance of Humpty Dumpty attempting to sit on the wall after a heavy night out on the town! I can allay your fears straight away on that score. This is indeed a whopper-stopper of a margin pole, but it still has some finesse across its top sections.
