hi mark/ anybody that can help i have a garbolino match pole its 6m 4 sections, bottom 2 glass fiber, top 2 carbon,
im presuming its a margin pole (thats what ive been using it as) its quite a thick diamiter at the tip will fit up to 20 elastic.
now my question is i hear you talking about elasticating the top 2 sections,
now with my pole its near on impossible as the cone size on the second section is bigger than most bungs,
will it be just as affective elasticating the top section only?
my local fishing pond is no deeper than 5ft if that makes a difference but the carp fight like hell i mean more than any other pond i have been to

thanx for any advice …..james

Hi havent used my pole in a couple of years. its fairly old (10ish years) but still in good nick. Was re elasticated 2-3 years ago. Was wondering if it would need new elastic?

Hydro elastic by Diawa!

How do you stop the “liquid” escaping from this type of elastic?

if u want to catch the 17lbers use 24-26 elastic to 12lb line and 11lb hook link.

Hi I use a 16+ hydro with 8lb to 6lb hook length this gives you a lot of stretch so you can play big fish it will cope with most fish even smaller ones as long as you dont have the elastic to tight hope it helps
