Guru Pole Nose Cone Set Orange (No. 28) | 7-Piece Protection Kit | Gerrys Fishing

Protecting your investment is just as important as the fishing itself. At Gerrys Fishing, we know that high-end poles are a significant investment, and the male joints are the most vulnerable points for wear and tear. The Guru Pole Nose Cone Set in vibrant orange is the ultimate insurance policy for your carbon, designed to prevent chipping, reduce friction, and keep your shipping as smooth as silk.

Constructed from Premium Acetalan engineering-grade, low-friction plasticthese cones dont just protect; they enhance. By providing a rounded, smooth leading edge to your sections, youll find that shipping in and out becomes a slicker experience, helping you stay efficient when every second counts on the match clock.

Technical Specifications & Compatibility

This 7-piece set is curated to cover almost every major section of your Guru pole, ensuring consistent protection from top kit to butt.

The Guru Edge: Why Use Nose Cones?

1. Joint Longevity

The male ends of pole sections are prone to star-cracking or chipping if they are knocked against the female joint during shipping. These Acetal cones act as a protective bumper, absorbing the impact and ensuring the carbon edges remain pristine for years of use.

2. Slick Shipping Performance

Because Acetal is a low-friction material, these cones guide the section into the female joint effortlessly. If youve ever felt your pole catch or clunk while shipping out, these will eliminate that sensation, giving you a consistently smooth, professional feel.

3. The Number 2 Aligner Secret

The No. 2 Nose Cone in this set is a dual-purpose genius. Beyond protecting the joint, it functions as an elastic aligner. It keeps your internal elastic centered and prevents it from sticking to the damp internal walls of your top kit. This ensures your elastic performs perfectly even with a massive Carp on the end.

Installation & Fitment Guide

• Section 2 & 3: These are vital for your top kits. By kitting out all your top kits with these orange cones, you ensure every kit feels identical and your elastic is always protected.

• Sections 4 to 8: These cover the main middle sections of your pole. These are the sections most frequently shipped, so the protection here is critical for maintaining the value and integrity of your pole.

• Fitment: Designed to be a snug-fit. They are specifically engineered for the Guru mandrels, ensuring they wont wobble or fall out during use.

Gerrys Pole Protection Pro Tips

• High-Viz Advantage: We love the Orange version at Gerrys because it makes it incredibly easy to see the joint in your peripheral vision while shipping back at speed. It acts as a visual guide for centering the section.

• The Dry Fit Check: Before gluing (if you choose to use a tiny drop of adhesive), always dry-fit the cone to ensure its flush. Most Guru poles are designed to take these as a friction-fit, but a tiny dab of a mild adhesive can offer extra peace of mind.

• Maintenance: Every few sessions, wipe the nose cones down with a damp cloth. Because they are low-friction, keeping them free of grit ensures they dont accidentally scratch the internal female joints of your pole.

• Consistent Feel: If you have multiple top kits, consider picking up the separate No. 2 & 3 packs so that every single kit in your bag has the same high-performance setup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these fit other brands of poles?

While specifically designed for the Guru Aventus, N-Gauge, and A-Class mandrels, many anglers find they fit other high-end poles with similar diameters. However, we officially recommend them for Guru poles for the most precise factory fit.

Do they make the pole feel heavy?

Not at all. Acetal is incredibly light. Even with 7 cones installed throughout the pole, the difference in weight is virtually unnoticeable, but the difference in joint protection is massive.

Can I use these with Side Puller kits?

Yes. The No. 2 cone is designed to work perfectly with modern elastication systems, including side pullers, ensuring the elastic stays centered as it travels through the kit.

Are they easy to remove?

They are designed to stay in place, but if you ever need to replace a section or remove a cone, they can be carefully pried out without damaging the carbon.
