FAQs
Is the Flat EX 2 compatible with older MAP TKS poles?
This model is specifically designed for the TKS 601 and 901. Check your specific pole generation to ensure fitment.
Does this protector add much weight?
The weight is minimal and is designed to provide a balance between stability and maintaining the pole's overall weight distribution.
Can I leave this on the pole during transport?
It is recommended to remove the protector during transport to prevent accidental damage to the accessory or the pole.
What is the primary benefit of the flat profile?
The flat profile provides a wider surface area for your elbow to rest on, which stops the pole from 'rolling' or slipping during active fishing.
How do I clean the protector?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if necessary, then air dry thoroughly.
Troubleshooting
Protector feels loose on the pole
Check for any debris inside the mounting point and ensure it is pushed fully home onto the pole section.
Difficulty sliding onto the pole
Ensure both the pole section and the interior of the protector are clean; do not force it, as this may cause damage to the carbon.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the protector, ensure the section of the TKS pole is clean and free of debris. Slide the Flat EX 2 onto the designated pole section until it is securely seated according to the manufacturer's markers. This model is explicitly compatible with the MAP TKS 601 and 901 poles. For maintenance, wipe the surface down with a damp cloth after every session to remove groundbait or mud residue. Store in a cool, dry place to prevent degradation of the material, and periodically check the fitting to ensure it has not become loose through vibration.
