Product Information
Full details
The MAP Flat Ex Pole Protector 3 is designed for competitive and recreational anglers using the TKS 1001 pole system who struggle with rod stability during technical sessions. This accessory significantly enhances fishing comfort by preventing the pole from slipping out from under the elbow, particularly during shallow slapping or long-pole techniques. While it provides excellent ergonomic control, users should note that it is purpose-built specifically for the TKS 1001 and may not offer a secure fit on other pole models.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the butt section of your TKS 1001 is clean and free of debris. Slide the Pole Protector 3 onto the desired section, ensuring it is seated firmly until it locks into place. The device is designed exclusively for the TKS 1001 series and is not intended for use with other manufacturers' poles or non-compatible MAP series. To care for the protector, wipe it down with a damp cloth after every session to remove groundbait, dirt, or silt. Periodically check the internal connection points for any signs of wear to ensure the protector remains secure during high-pressure fishing.
