Pole Elastic

[SkinnyMan 11]

 

This little cracker overstreched my elastic in my pole today, it has gone from a dark blue colour to a very light blue, so it obviously needs replacing but i never relised picking a new elastic would be so hard, theres so many different types. All i want is one that can handle decent size carp,tench,barbel but also land the less agressive fighting fish e.g bream roach etc.

Type "Puller bung" into Youtube and have a look. Just a different way to do things.

Iv'e always used the Old Preston Slip laccy, even down to the Purple no1. Never been into Commercials or Carping much so never used Hydro even the lighter grades. I don't like to admit it, but i can remember when no8 was the strongest elastic you could buy. :icon_redface:

You won't go wrong with black hydro elastic made by fakes not cheap but very long lasting had same elastic for 2 seasons now you will pay 15 quid for 3 meters hope this helps ! Very good for big carp to bream very soft and forgive ing
