Best Pole Elastic for Big Carp

Poles tend to be much better for bait presentation and consistency. A pole angler relies on the elastic in the pole to do the bulk of the work, with the pole action also relieving some of the pressure. To be successful when using a pole you have to make sure your setup is balanced.

Poles normally come with a rating to ensure you choose the right size of elastic. Pole elastic is numbered from 2 to 20. The higher the number the thicker and more heavy duty the elastic. If you go too far above the pole rating and you may very well find that your pole breaks before your elastic does. Elastic is far cheaper than a new pole.

Choosing pole elastic can be tricky, but it doesn’t need to be. Our core message here is keep it simple. If there’s even a chance of a big carp we recommend elastic sizes between 18 to 20+ (with a pole rated to match of course). We have assembled quite a few choices for you here to help you choose the best pole elastic for big carp:

Most advanced pole elastic

Well this one is a little bit different. For big carp you’ll want to select either red or brown. This elastic is packed with technology, literally. The outer walls of the elastic are filled with a ‘secret’ fluid. When the elastic is put under load the fluid is compressed and resists the pressure of the walls. The idea is that the resistance of the elastic changes depending on how hard or fast it is pulled. Sounds quite smart to us.
