I bought a margin pole 6 years ago. its only been elasticated once with #18. Its still lands big fish without a problem. Its upto you really. I think once a every 2 years is good for pleasure anglers. But its not needed half as much as most people say.

eighteen elastic is fine for a margin pole, if you are fishing next to or in the reeds the stronger elastic allows you to take control of the fish and steer it away from making runs into the reeds and snags, however choose the fishery to use the pole at wisely as if there are plenty of smaller fish you will bump them but is a very effective way of fishing if large carp are actively feeding.
