Sphere Multi-Kits
Sphere Multi-Kits
The Browning Sphere Multi Kits have several brilliant advantages that will improve the performance of your pole and give you a great deal of flexibility in how you fish.
Firstly, these kits are very strong and well up to the rigours of catching big weights of carp, week in, week out. Reinforcement has been added to the ends of the sections for increased strength and reduced wear when adding and removing the kit. There is also a woven carbon reinforced area positioned for fitting a puller bush, which again helps increase the life of these top kits.
The kits have a full 2.75m length, but thanks to the unique Duo Bush system they do not require any cutting back, even when fitting heavy elastics. Use the smaller black inner bush when fishing with solid elastics and lighter Micro Bore elastics, or remove this leaving the white outer bush when using bigger diameter hollow elastics, such as the heavier Stretch 7 range.
If you own a Browning pole and are looking to add some extra top kits then the Multi Kits are an absolute must. Really flexible and really strong, they are a brilliant piece of kit.

F1’s Down the Edge
If you love catching big F1’s then you need to get yourself down to Lake 6 on the Orchard Farm Fishery complex in Kent. It been a while since I last fished here but what a return it’s been, as the fish have just got bigger and seem to be more plentiful than ever. This is a great venue to look at one of my favourite tactics – catching F1’s down the edge.
F1’s will move to the feed
Arriving early and knowing that the wind was forecasted to pick up to gale force as the day progressed along with the chance of the odd heavy showers I decided to head to the road bank with the wind of my back for some respite and enjoy the warmth of the sunshine for most of the day. These pegs have always been some of the best on this venue and with few other anglers around and knowing that these F1’s really do move to the feed knew it was the right choice.
As close to perfection as it gets
Tackle for the session consists of the fantastic EXO Sphere Zero-G F1+ rigged up with a pulla kit and Xitan Microbore 2.3mm blue pole elastic which has a 9-13 rating. If you’re looking for a pole that’s incredibly light and stiff then you need to check this one out, it really is as close to perfection as it gets. You don’t need a complex rig for F1’s down the edge, keeping things really simple and making sure all the components are robust and reliable, capable of withstanding big hits if you’re on the fish is much better than going delicate. My rig today consists of a 0.35g float placed on Cenex Classic 0.16mm line with four number 8 soft shot to cock it. These are positioned together just above a four-inch hook length which is once again Cenex Classic in a 0.12mm diameter and onto this I’ve tied a size 16 Sphere CPF LS barbless hook.
F1’s love maggots, especially in the winter, and they are my first choice of bait for both feed and hookbait.
Use a small pot to feed maggots on a little and often basis.
When you hook a fish guide it away from the margins.
Make the most of the margin
A quick plumb along the margins reveals a nice area at just 5 metres in 2ft 11inches of water which has plenty of cover and offers some shade from the sun. Believe me, being able to fish down the edge here and catch is a real treat as during a match these fish tend to move away from the margins into open water and numerous lines need to be feed and rotated in order to get the best from a swim. Today with minimal disturbance from other anglers I know that these fish will move close in, all I need to do is keep a few maggots constantly falling through the water and once they arrive it should be a really enjoyable and action packed session. The best bait by far for F1’s is maggots, they absolutely adore them and even in the height of summer when pellet does come into play, maggots will still be difficult to beat. Feeding on a little-and-often basis is the key here and I’m simply going to feed a dozen maggots through a small feed pot every put in. If I start to foul hook fish then I will reduce the amount of maggots and if this fails try up in the water but hopefully this won’t happen.
Low to the water
First put in and after tipping the freebies in and slowly lowering the rig over the top the float sails away. Using a short line from pole tip to float means all that’s required is a slight lift before the elastic begins to extend and I’m into my first F1. Weighing around 2lb 8oz, it’s the average size here now but they have been caught to nearly 8lb! Hooking and playing a fish is another area that makes so much difference in building a big weight. As soon as I hook a fish I keep the pole low to the water and draw the fish away from the feeding zone and into open water. When the pole is straight out in front it’s simply a case of shipping it back on the rear rollers whilst all the time keeping the tip close to the water. When the fish is close in its time to unship the top sections and then, and then only lift the pole vertically. What will happen next is the F1 will come up in the water and splash on the surface before bolting away and if your quick you should be able to net them first time on most occasions.
Cenex Classic Mono is incredibly reliable and has a very accurate diameter.
The blue Xitan Microbore Elastic is just right for winter F1 rigs.
Use simple, robust rigs with a sensitive tip for winter margin fishing for F1’s.
I use a bulk of four no.8 shot on my winter F1 rigs.
The Sphere CPF LS barbless hook is my choice for maggot fishing.
"The fishing today can only be described as incredible."
Incredible fishing
The fishing today can only be described as incredible as nearly every put in has produced an F1’s, it must be black with them in my swim, and it’s easy to see why you need over 200lb on occasions to frame here. As predicted the weather does take a turn for the worse with the wind increasing around lunchtime and at one stage I had to make a dash to the car when a storm front blew over. Fortunately this soon passed and the sun came out once again, drying everything out and in the meantime letting me get my fill with more F1’s and with well over 150lb of fish already netted I’ll be heading home a very contented angler.
Tight lines!
Garry Cooper
Look for a flat bottom and some cover along the margins for the perfect spot to fish.
On bright days look for any shade as the F1’s will fed more confidently here.
Big fish can be landed easily when the slow down in the winter.

Sphere 1m Extender Section
There are times when you need to go the distance and fishing at the full length of my Sphere Zero-G F1+ just isn’t long enough. This is where the Sphere 1m Extender Section comes into play as it fit both the 14.5m and 16m sections of my Sphere Zero-G F1+ allowing me to extend the pole on those rare occasions to a range of different lengths right up to 17m and continue to catch.
It’s one of those accessories that doesn’t always come into play but when it does its invaluable.

if you own a Sphere pole then the Extender Section is a really useful addition.
The Sphere 1m Extender Section fits both the 14.5m and 16m sections of my pole.
The built in EVA skid bung is a nice touch that protects the section.
Sphere Zero-G Power Partner
If you are looking to get into the Browning Sphere pole ‘ecosystem’, looking for a power pole to compliment your Sphere, or just want the best 10.5m pole around, then the Sphere Zero-G Power Partner is for you.
Originally developed to compliment the Sphere Zero-G poles, the Power Partner features some extra section strength, for when you really need it, but without adding significant amounts of weight.
The stiffness is also right up there with the other Sphere poles, and it is completely compatible with the other models. Use the Power Partner as a shorter companion pole to your Sphere, or in combination with your main pole.
The Power Partner is supplied as a ‘bare’ pole, with a single two-piece multi-kit. The idea being that Sphere owners will already have a number of top kits. Being fully section compatible, you can build up just the array of sections and kits that you need.
In use I find it hard to tell the difference between the Power Partner and my Sphere Zero-G PT+, it really is that well balanced and incredibly stiff. You are just as likely to find me setting this pole up for fishing a flat float on the river Trent, as you are for fishing shallow on a commercial.
If you fish a wide range of different venues, or want a second pole, then I can’t rate the Power Partner highly enough. It is a brilliant concept that adds great flexibility to the Sphere pole line-up.

How to Elasticate your Pole Top Kits.
In this new video Jim Hall looks at how to elasticate your pole top kits.
Using the new Browning Xitan Extreme Margin Pole Jim looks at the simple elastication set-up he uses on his top kits.
Jim uses the fitted side puller bushes and duo PTFE bushes in each two-piece top kit. The same method can be used on both one and two-piece top kits.
By using the side-puller the tension on the elastic can be increased when playing big carp. This gives improved control as the pressure on the fish can be altered to land powerful fish faster.
The Duo bush system means that Browning top kits require no cutting back. Use them with a wide range of pole elastic diameters.
Setting up for big carp Jim uses the Rocket Red Microbore elastic. The same method can be used for both hollow and solid elastics.
Jim also uses the simple Dacron Connectors. These create a strong and neat connection between elastic and line.
