MAP TKS G50 Pole - 16m,
The TKS G50 uses the same mandrel as the TKS 601/701/801/901 so offers full interchangeability with these models. The G50 has reached new highest in performance, and offers superb balance, weight and incredible rigidity even at its longest length. Equally at home catching big weights on commercials, as well as fishing natural venues. As with all the G Series poles, we have used Graphene impregnated into the carbon, that has helped create all-round pole that thats incredibly robust due to the nature of the material, yet remains incredibly well balanced and light. Each top kit supplied with the G50 features a unique depth marker print, so you can quickly find the correct amount of depth you require, or know what depth you were actually fishing at. Also, each top kit is also supplied with an extra-long PTFE bush fitted as standard, and fitted with our unique side roller puller.
So what is Graphene. Fundamentally its a single layer of Graphite, the same material used to make a pencil. If you peel away the layers of Graphite, you end up with a monolayer of Graphene. This layer of material is a single atom thick, which is why its a two-dimensional material. The atoms arranged in a hexagon or honeycomb structure, with each atom bonded to more around it, and its the strength of these bonds is the main reason Graphene is so strong.
