Rods, Reels & Poles

For 2014 Browning has introduced two new poles.

The Z10 is manufactured on the flagship Z12 mandrel and boasts a different mix of carbons to deliver increased strength over the Z12. It’s available in ‘standard’ and ‘professional’ package versions costing £2,299 or £2,599 respectively. For that money you get 17 metres of pole plus a whole host of additional top kits.

Secondly there’s a Xitan Power Combat model – a new entry-level showstopper in the Xitan range retailing at £429 for the 13m package and £329 for the 11m package. This model focuses on strength and all Xitans come with pre-bushed top kits.
