Product Information
Full details
The Guru Elastic Connector (Medium) is designed for competitive pole anglers who require a reliable and smooth connection between their fishing line and internal pole elastic. Its primary benefit is the inclusion of a high-quality rubber bush that prevents line damage and ensures consistent elastic retraction during a fight, though users should note that this specific size is calibrated for medium-rated elastics rather than ultra-light or heavy-duty setups.

FAQs
Is this connector compatible with solid elastic?
Yes, it can be used with both solid and hollow elastics as long as the diameter falls within the medium range.
Can I reuse the connector if I change my elastic?
Yes, provided the Dacron loop remains intact and shows no signs of fraying or wear.
What is the purpose of the rubber bush?
The bush protects your line from rubbing against the edges of the connector, which prevents premature breakage.
Are there other sizes available?
Yes, Guru offers extra small, small, and large versions to accommodate different elastic ratings.
How do I know if the Medium size is right for me?
The Medium size is best suited for standard mid-range elastics typically used in commercial match fishing.
Troubleshooting
Connector catching inside the pole tip
Ensure your internal pole bush is the correct size and that the connector is properly centered.
Knot slipping inside the connector
Use a thicker knot or check that your elastic knot is tightened sufficiently before pulling it into the housing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Reduces line friction for smoother elastic retraction
- High-durability Dacron construction prevents fraying
- Protective rubber bush protects the main line

- Ideal for consistent performance in match conditions
Cons
- Specific to medium-rated elastic diameter
- Requires careful knotting to maintain structural integrity
- Not suitable for very thin finesse elastics
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, thread your elastic through the hollow end of the connector and secure it with a reliable knot such as a double overhand or a figure-of-eight, ensuring the knot is snug against the interior of the connector. When storing your pole tips, keep the connector free from grit or debris that could impede the rubber bush's movement. It is compatible with a wide range of top kits, though you should verify that your internal bush size allows for the connector to pass through smoothly without obstruction. After fishing, rinse with fresh water and allow to air dry before storing to prolong the life of the Dacron material.
