Full details
The Preston Innovations Hollo Elastic 17H is a high-performance hollow elastic designed specifically for carp anglers who demand consistency and reliability at the bank. Built from premium-grade materials, this elastic offers an exceptionally smooth retrieve without the need for manual lubrication, making it ideal for both seasoned professionals and dedicated hobbyists. While it provides superior power and control, users must be aware that effective use requires proper pole tip preparation, such as cutting back the tip or removing the number 1 section, to prevent the elastic from adhering to the inside of the pole.

FAQs
Do I need to add silicone oil to the Hollo Elastic?
No, the elastic is manufactured with a specialized internal process that makes it smooth out of the packet without needing additional lubricants.
What does the 17H rating mean?
The 17H refers to the specific strength rating of the elastic, which is calibrated to standard industry elastic ratings for carp fishing.
Do I have to cut my pole tip back?
Yes, for the 17H diameter, it is recommended to cut your pole tip back or remove the number 1 section to prevent the elastic from sticking.
How long is the elastic in the package?
Each bag contains 3 meters of high-quality Hollo Elastic.
Is this suitable for small commercial carp?
The 17H is a robust elastic designed for carp fishing; it is highly effective for commercial carp where control and durability are key.
Troubleshooting
Elastic feels sticky or refuses to retract.
Ensure the pole tip has been cut back sufficiently; the elastic should not touch the walls of the tip section.
Elastic is snapping prematurely.
Check your pole tip for burrs or sharp edges that could nick the material and ensure you are not over-stretching the elastic during transport.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best results, always ensure your pole tip is prepared. Cutting the pole tip back is standard procedure when installing high-diameter hollow elastics to ensure the material travels freely. Alternatively, removing the number 1 section entirely is a common solution to maximize performance and prevent the elastic from rubbing against the carbon walls. To maintain the elastic's lifespan, keep it stored in its original sealed bag when not in use, and avoid exposing it to direct, intense sunlight for prolonged periods, which can degrade the elasticity of the material over time.
