Best elastic on the market lov it been using the 13, 15,17 this summer at the glebe had 180 pound of carp vertually on one top kit the 15 wow awesome it looked brand new after also the 17 is brilliant in the edge also used it for mugging still soft but powers up lovely
Iv only got 2 topkits on a 8m margin pole.. what size would you suggest ? Mainly for f1 amd good carp on commercials? Cheers.. I was thinking a 13 and 15 ? Or 2 15s?
Hi Joe as you know I fish mostly natural venues and have tried Slik which had too much stretch. Nice for commercial venues but allowed bigger fish to get into the snags. So if this does start soft and then powers up it may prove ok other than in some of the snag pit swims, and at a price that is very competitive. Look forward to trying this out. Regards Bill
My local venue has some of the strongest fighting carp and i keep losing them to the lily pads. Hopefully this elastic prevents more hook pulls and getting snapped cause my old elastic was a solid elastic and it doesn't stretch as good as it used to so that's the reason I'm gonna switch to the 15 dura slip soon
I have always used hybrid elastic but they do overstretch when playing bigger fish I have just last week got myself the Preston edge monster so will try this elastic when I can get my hands on some 👍👍
Hi guys, I'm almost 60, got back into fishing last year, baught a pole this year, back in the day when woodlands Thirsk was brand new, we basically cut out top kits back and shot a 20 elastic in them 🤣 I could hold me own years ago, I can barely hold me pole these days, however I still love it so I'm getting back into it, haven't things changed in the last 20 years 😂😂 I'm getting to grips with it, however the choice of elastic is simply mind boggling, I have 4 top kits, only one for down my edge, that's not a problem, what do I put in the other three as a standard elastic, so I can enjoy silver fish and f1s, but have a chance with coping with 7/8lb carp shoul it happen along, 9,11,or 13?
Hi Joe, I use dura slip in all my power tops love the 15 and 13. I've just brought some short stops for my x300 what grade elastic would you recommend for for carp/ F1's 11 or 13. Cheers
@@MatchFishingFilms Thank you for the reply Joe I'll give the 11 ago as the fish range from one pound up low doubles and for the price it's cheap enough to go to the 13 if needed.
I’ve used Preston Dura Hollo for many years (10 for my Carp and big F1 fishing, 12 for my edge fishing) the dura hollo has never let me down . . It’s brilliant. Is this hybrid elastic the beginning of the end for the dura hollo range?
Yes. Des has been using it for a long time and reports excellent lifespan. My kits have had it in since lockdown was lifted and is still in great order and I have caught loads on mine now. I have always used hook ups on my kits so they never get exposed to the sun. That helps loads regardless of what elastic u use
@@MatchFishingFilms sound good im just in the process of changing mine so perfect timing 👌, if it kicks of would preston ever consider doing 5m lengths you think maybe? Get two match tops out of one length then, got to save on the penny's 🤣🤦♂️
Great elastic. Already done some of my top 2's with no 13. Waiting for new pole to arrive so I can fit 15 and 9. As previous subscriber said,Why not so in 5 meter lengths at about £9 so you can do 2 top 2's. ?
I’ve used slik hybrid elastic I think it has a fault,I use guru Dacrons and with bonus fish on the lighter elastics the dacrons have cut through the elastic, I’m going to try this see if it’s any different I will try 13 first in 2 kits and a couple of the 7
John Creed I have heard this with various hollows too. I think that really stiff coated Dacron damages elastics far too much. I think it strangulates the elastic. When I was on the magazine it was a weekly complaint (pre hybrid elastic) and that coated braid style connector was the common denominator
Match Fishing Films well thanks for the reply joe never expected it,not this late anyway,as I said I will try the 13 and 7 and try different dacrons, Preston ones any good truthfully not just as your sponsored by them
Ive use the matrix slik for a year now and not looked back, will defo be giving this a go, Joe I'm a fan of using the bead connection on all my elastics will it still work on these elastics?
Changed over to this its brilliant best elastic ive used
Been using hybrid elastic for last winter and all this summer lovely stuff
Why didn’t they make it in 5m lengths and charge £9.99 then get 2 top kits out of it??????
Can’t wait to buy some the weekend as long as my local shop doesn’t run out in the meantime 🙏🎣
Changed over it's brilliant I'm definitely a convert thanks

Just switched to 13 white hybrid on 3 top kits, looking forward to next match now! Sounds great!
Have fun!
Fished with 13 and 15 at makins today. wow great stuff more to it than slik ... very impressed !
Great to hear Chris. That was our aim to beef it up and give it more progressive power.

Yep i used them firstly for price but then cause they work great
Have to say the 13 is awesome.

Should be in shops today or tomorrow
Sounds great elastic I’ll be definitely giving it ago 👍
Can’t beat them carp with the party hats 🥳

changing to them now, but, where's the hook box gone, been there sooo long ?
😂its full... ish
What’s the best Dacron connecters you use please
Hi Joe, I use dura slip in all my power tops love the 15 and 13. I've just brought some short stops for my x300 what grade elastic would you recommend for for carp/ F1's 11 or 13. Cheers
It depends on the size really but the 11 is a great choice
@@MatchFishingFilms Thank you for the reply Joe I'll give the 11 ago as the fish range from one pound up low doubles and for the price it's cheap enough to go to the 13 if needed.

No. A lot of us still use hollo and dura hollo and they have a great following 👍
Sounds good, definitely be giving it a try but the big question is does it last?
Yes. Des has been using it for a long time and reports excellent lifespan. My kits have had it in since lockdown was lifted and is still in great order and I have caught loads on mine now. I have always used hook ups on my kits so they never get exposed to the sun. That helps loads regardless of what elastic u use

It’s all made in same place so just get NG elastics online all brilliant stuff at fraction of cost
But NG is more expensive than ours 😂
Match Fishing Films fair enough it’s worth a try then

I think ours are a bit basic now compared to others. But they last forever and the braid material is kind on the elastic
Ive use the matrix slik for a year now and not looked back, will defo be giving this a go, Joe I'm a fan of using the bead connection on all my elastics will it still work on these elastics?
Yes Joe. I set it up that way and. It is incredibly durable! Unbelievably so actually
To be fair it's nothing new, I use PR hybrid and it's awesome
It’s all made in the same factory matrix Preston hydro maver and all the ones on eBay ffs just buy a cheap one
It definitely isnt 👍
Match Fishing Films just be honest everyone with a brain knows it is
I bet you know which club Messi is going to too 👍
three metre lengths another rip off
