FAQs
Can I use these connectors with other brands of elastic?
While they are optimized for Daiwa Hydrolastic, they may work with others, but we recommend matching the connector size to the elastic diameter.
How many connectors come in a pack?
Each pack contains two connectors and two matching puller beads.
Does the colour signify the size?
Yes, the colour variants typically correspond to the rating of the Hydrolastic elastic being used.
How often should I replace the connectors?
Replace them if you notice any visible cracks, discoloration, or if the locking mechanism feels loose.
Are the puller beads essential?
Yes, they provide the necessary buffer to protect your pole and allow for controlled elastic tension.
Troubleshooting
Elastic slipping through the connector
Ensure you are using the correct size knot and that the elastic is properly seated in the locking mechanism.
Connector catching in the pole tip
Check that the connector is properly aligned and that the pole tip sizing is appropriate for the connector diameter.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, thread your pole elastic through the connector and secure it according to the instructions provided with your specific pole elastic. Ensure the knot is firmly seated within the connector housing to prevent slippage during use. The matching puller bead should be placed on the elastic to act as a buffer and grip point. For maintenance, regularly inspect the connector for signs of wear or cracking, especially after heavy use. Rinse the components with fresh water after fishing sessions to remove grit and debris that could interfere with the smooth movement of the elastic through your pole tip.
