Product Information
Full details
The Preston Innovations Hollo Elastic is designed for carp anglers who demand consistent, trouble-free performance during intense fishing sessions. Available in six strengths ranging from 9H to 19H, this high-quality elastic offers smooth retraction and durability across various carp fishing scenarios. While it provides excellent power and reliability, it requires specific pole tip preparation, such as cutting back the tip or removing the number 1 section, to ensure optimal performance without the elastic sticking to the interior walls.

FAQs
Do I need to add lubricant to this elastic?
No, the elastic is manufactured with a special process that makes internal lubrication unnecessary.
What does the 'H' rating mean?
The H ratings correspond to standard elastic strengths; for example, a 13H is designed to perform like a 12 to 14 rated elastic.
Should I remove the number 1 section of my pole?
Many anglers choose to remove the number 1 section to ensure a stiffer tip, which prevents the elastic from catching inside the pole.
How long is each length of elastic?
Each pack contains a 3-meter length of elastic, sealed in a protective bag.
Can I use this for non-carp fishing?
While designed for carp fishing, the various ratings allow you to choose a strength suitable for different fish sizes.
Which bush should I use with this elastic?
Use a standard internal bush if the tip is not cut back much, or an XLarge Internal/Slip Stretch bush if the tip has been cut back significantly.
Troubleshooting
Elastic is sticking to the inside of the pole tip
The tip is bending too much. Cut the pole tip back further or remove the number 1 section to increase stiffness.
Standard internal bush does not fit the pole tip
If the tip has been cut back significantly, use an XLarge Internal Bush or a Slip Stretch external bush instead.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup is critical for this product. You must cut your pole tip back or remove the number 1 section to prevent internal friction. If you cut the tip back significantly, the internal diameter may become too wide for a standard internal bush. In these instances, use an XLarge Internal Bush or a Slip Stretch external bush. Always ensure the chosen bush size matches the modified diameter of your pole section. Store the elastic in its original sealed bag until you are ready to rig your top kits, and keep it away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to maintain its elasticity over time.
