when you put elastic on to your bung also attach a bit of nylon with a loop for your fingers and leave it long enough so when bung is on place the nylon still sticks out of the butt.. the nylon is hidden inside the pole .. you do not need fairy liquid or lube or an extractor.. hope this helps any1 in future

I had a similer prob, the extractor would not reach the bung, I scrounged some steel fixers bailing wire and persevered using this to catch the bung. A tip sqirt some wasing up liquid down the pole tip to aid the bung to slide out whe you pull it, and keep the bailing wire safe you may need it again

ive had the same problem before and in my experience you can either do 2 things either tap the thick end of the section on top of a book to stop it splitting or chipping or get a long straight piece of wire put a very small bend to form a hook then put the hook part of the wire over a gas hob until it gets hot then push it up the thick end of the pole section and force it through the bung it may take several goes over the hob when it goes through just twist the wire round 180 degrees and pull back down but make sure you dont touch the pole wall with the hot wire cause it will go straight through the pole done it loads of times when bungs gone too far up pole and the rod is too short

Hi Gareth, For attaching elastic to a bung I suggest tying a treble overhand loop, with your bung in the middle of the loop if you see what i mean, pull the whole set up tight after spitting on it. to avoid damaging it. This has never failed for me, hope it helps

H, what size fish are you fishing for? How deep is the venue? is it coloured or snaggy? Answer these questions and we should be able to help more:-)
