Euro Match GX and GXM Top Kits & Extensions – Top Kits and Extensions (available to order)

Please note: this product is made to order with a delivery time of approximately one week.

The Preston Euro Match GX Top Kits & Extensions are separate top kits and extension sections for the Euro Match GX/GXM pole fishing poles. They are intended to supplement an existing set or replace a specific component. First choose the function: a Match top kit for your rig, a Cupping kit for feeding, a Power combination or a separate extension section. You are ordering the selected component, not a complete pole package.

Compatibility within the Euro platform

Preston confirms that the Euro Match GX3, GX2 and GXM are fully compatible with the earlier Euro Match poles and the current Euro Carp STR and Euro MCX ranges. The complete top kits belong to this compatible platform. This confirmation does not make a separate Monoblock top section or a mini-extension universal: check the exact version and connection.

Match top kits for your rigs

The GX Top 2, Top 3 and Top 4 differ in length. A longer top kit allows you to use more of the upper pole section as one assembled set. The GXM Top 2 is the same length as the GX Top 2, but is a separate model: the stated weights are 54 and 46 g respectively. Therefore, choose according to the full model name, not just “Top 2”.

These lengths also apply to the correspondingly designated Cupping kits. The GX Power Top 2 also measures 3.07 m, with a transport length of 157 cm.

Monoblock Tip: a separate top section

The GX Monoblock Tip is a separate top section measuring 1.55 m and weighing 12 g, not a complete Top 2, Top 3 or Top 4 kit. This section is intended for use with one length of elastic. The transport length is also 155 cm.

Cupping kits for targeted feeding

Use a Cupping kit to place groundbait accurately on the spot. The GXM Cupping Top 2 belongs to the GXM designation; the Cupping Top 3 and Top 4 are GX versions. Do not confuse these feeding kits with the regular Match top kits on which your rig is assembled.

Combining Power Top 2 with Power Section 3

For the GX Power Top 2, Preston specifies the matching GX Power Section 3 section. This specified combination remains necessary when using the Power kit on a compatible pole from another Euro range. The Power combination is designed for elastic up to 2.5 mm. This limit does not automatically apply to the regular Match kits or other components.

The Power Top 2 and Power Section 3 are separate items. The Power Section 3 section is 158 cm long and weighs 64 g; it is not a three-piece top kit and is not automatically included when you select only the Power Top 2.

Mini-extensions with their own model designation

Mini 4, Mini 5 and Mini 6 are different extension sections. Each component is 42.5 cm long and has a stated transport length of 43 cm. When replacing a part, check the full model designation.
