FAQs

Is this elastic suitable for heavy carp?
Yes, the hybrid design is specifically engineered to handle the demands of commercial carp fishing when the correct size is chosen.
Does the color represent the size?
Yes, MAP uses a specific color-coding system to differentiate between the seven available sizes for easy selection.
How should I store my kits rigged with this elastic?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the material.
Troubleshooting
Elastic feeling sluggish or sticky
Clean the elastic thoroughly with a damp cloth and apply a dedicated pole elastic lubricant to restore smoothness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure your pole top kit is prepared with a high-quality PTFE bush that matches the diameter of your chosen elastic size. Cut the elastic to length according to your specific top kit measurement, keeping in mind that hybrid elastic may require slightly different tensioning compared to pure solid elastic. To maintain the life of the product, keep the elastic clean by wiping it with a damp cloth after each session to remove groundbait, silt, and fish slime. Store your top kits out of direct sunlight when not in use to prevent the degradation of the material over time.
