Euro Carp 850 STR Edge – Margin Pole

Preston Euro Carp 850 STR Edge

The Preston Euro Carp 850 STR Edge is a powerful 8.5-metre margin pole for targeted fishing for large carp close to the bank. The pole was developed for match anglers who want to land fish quickly when they arrive, while also giving recreational anglers the confidence to play particularly powerful fish under control.

Heavily reinforced pole sections provide the required power and durability, while the STR construction is designed for comfort, balance and accuracy. The pole uses the same mandrel as the Euro Carp series, making sections interchangeable from top to butt section within the Euro Carp and Euro Carp STR ranges.

The package includes the 8.5-metre pole, one mini-extension, one grey spare Top 2 Kit measuring 290 cm and a holdall. This gives you a complete, practical and easily transportable set for fishing along the bank straight away.

What type of fishing is the 850 STR Edge designed for?

This pole is specifically built for the margin, where large carp often feed at short range and close to obstacles. The reinforced sections give you the power to bring a hooked fish under control quickly.

Can I continue using existing Euro Carp sections?

Yes. According to Preston, the Euro Carp 850 STR Edge, 1000 STR Margin, 1150 STR S, 1300 STR X and 1300 STR are mutually interchangeable from butt section to top. The range is also compatible with earlier Euro Carp poles. Preston also confirms full interchangeability of the Euro MCX4/MCX6 and Euro Match GX3/GX2/GXM with the STR platform.

When choosing an individual spare section, select the correct section and version. Check mini-extensions, extension sections and individual parts within a top kit separately; family compatibility does not make every accessory universal. Weight, stiffness and load capacity may vary by version.
