| elastic i bought some baiting elastic, when i'm trying to tie the bait to the trace hook, it keeps breaking, with very little tension, yet when i see vids etc, they appear to be able to squeeze the bait tight with their elastic. question is : are baiting elastics made in various thicknesses ? ie: light, medium strong ? __________________ good luck and tight lines chris lifes to short for animosity.     |

| Re: elastic You can get various thickness bait threads for differant baits ,but they are all usually quite strong....Its not Ron Tompson stuff by any chance ???? thats hopeless and breaks very easily. __________________ Mike..

| Re: elastic dunno mike, had no label on it when bought from the shop, looks like very fine clear mono, with stretch, about the thickness of a hair. __________________ good luck and tight lines chris lifes to short for animosity. |

| Re: elastic I bought storm bait elastic off fleabay Chris, 2 x 150m spools for a couple of quid and had no problems. Is it possible you got an old spool that,s been lying around for a while and showing signs of perishing? __________________ Steve 2012 Species:Bass,Huss,SS Sea Scorpion,3B/Shore Rockling,Launce,Mackerel,Sand Goby,Sand Smelt,Pollack, Coalie,Conger |
