After an absence of 12 years Maver decided to re issue their most popular pole ever and the best selling fishing pole of all time “The Jurassic Carp”.At 12.5 m the Jurassic Carp 08 is stiffer, longer, lighter and stronger than its predecessor. Yet amazingly nearly 10 years after the original disappeared from tackle shop shelves is available for the same RRP of just £315.00.
Look around and you can find these available from reputable angling suppliers for as little as £199.00, or as I did, for less than £150.00 on eBay.
Due to its exceptional balance and light weight you could be forgiven for thinking that this is a much more expensive pole designed for much smaller silver fish. But the Maver Jurassic Carp is extremely strong and will handle that surprise “lump” from a commercial fishing lake with definitive ease.
The Jurassic Carp will bend to an almost unbelievable curve when fighting heavier carp. This it has to be said is quite disconcerting the first time or two it happens. But this is a pole which was designed with this purpose in mind and as you get used to the alarming bend and your faith grows in the poles ability you will find yourself giving it even more stick.
The wall thickness of the high quality carbon is quite substantial and it doesn't oval when put under pressure. The strength and build quality is apparent from the power top kit right the way through to the resplendent red butt section.
Supplied with two power top sections and a match section as well as a cupping kit the Maver Jurassic is a superb “all rounder” of a pole. I elasticated my two power kits with holo elastics; one with a 16 and the other with a 20. The match kit I elasticated with a high quality 6 rated solid.
Simply put the Maver Jurassic Carp pole pole represents phenomenal value for the budget conscious pole angler.
