FAQs
Is this elastic suitable for commercial carp fishing?
Yes, the hybrid construction is specifically designed to handle the power of commercial carp while maintaining the sensitivity needed for smaller species.
Can I use this for silver fish?
The lighter grades are excellent for silver fish, providing the necessary shock absorption for small hooks and light lines.
How often should I replace the elastic?
It depends on frequency of use, but generally, you should replace the elastic once it loses its initial stretch or shows visible signs of fraying.
Does this elastic come with connectors?
No, the 6-meter spool is sold as the elastic material only, requiring you to purchase connectors separately.
Is there a specific way to store the rigs?
It is best to store your top kits using a pole hook or rig winder setup that keeps the elastic under minimal tension.
Troubleshooting
Elastic feeling sluggish or sticky
Clean the elastic thoroughly with a dedicated elastic lubricant or water and wipe dry.
Elastic snapping prematurely at the tip
Check the internal pole bush for burrs or sharp edges and replace if necessary.
Elastic failing to retract fully
Ensure the internal ladder or bung system is adjusted to the correct tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the most out of your MAP Tks Hybrid Elastic, ensure you use the correct internal pole bush. A slightly oversized bush will help the elastic move freely, preventing friction-induced wear. When rigging, use a high-quality elastic connector to avoid damaging the core. After each session, wipe the exposed section of the elastic with a damp cloth to remove any river silt or lake slime. Avoid leaving the elastic under high tension while in storage, as this can degrade the material over time. Always store your top kits in a cool, dark place to protect the material from UV light degradation.
