Wow, it's been 18 years since I fished with a pole and this has helped me no end. Wish me luck with elasticating it tonight - just got a beginner pole for commercials to see how I enjoy it as a break from chucking lures.
Ive recently come back to course fishing & the tech has changed completley. Last time I used a pole was 2010 ish and I used a PLASTIC CONNECTOR and a cone bung in section 2 or 3. Ive been carping ever since. Now Im getting back into course fishing to learn my mrs. Great uploads to watch here.
I just bought an Edge Monster margin pole and some Dura Slip elastic. I needed some tips because the last margin pole I had didn't have roller pulla top kits. This is the best elastication tutorial I have seen (and I must have watched nearly a dozen of them). Using the diamond eye threader just on bottom end of the top kit is simple but genius - other videos tell you to put the threader through the whole top kit and then drag the whole lot through backwards. Thanks Des, you are THE man!
Thanks des just started fishing on pole and this has really helped me I always watch this video when I go fishing because I can't seem to remember but now thanks to you I'm doing match fishing
Using the elastic lube when tying the knots is a great idea. Last year I lost a a big smallmouth Bass (Ilive in the US) due to the connector snapping off, I was never happy with the knot but due to laziness I didnt change it, that won't happen again. Preston videos are awesome, thanks.
Just returned to pole fishing last summer and looking at a new pole now, so very interesting to see the dacron in use as I wasn't really aware how they worked or how they connected to pole and rig.
Just bought a pole, never used one before so this is great instruction - can you do one on how to 1) not break a top kit on its first outing when removing it from the pole tube and 2) not break the end off cupping kit including losing bait cup when trying to shoo away a duckling! :-):-)
Great video! I dont know anything about fishing with an elasticized pole, I've never seen anyone do it here in the US. I'm intrigued enough to subscribe and watch more of your videos. Thanks!
Just getting back into fishing after 10 years out! Been watching a fair few of your videos Des and I’m getting the bug back! I’ve just re-elasticated my top kits using dacrons and the pulla bead which I found really easy, I’m just hoping they work well after using stonfo in my younger years! Thanks for the simple, clear and consise videos you make. 👍🎣
Thread through the puller hole to the butt section 1st,make sure to put a loop on the puller hole end. Thread it all through then feed the end back up the pole to the tip section, you don't need a diamond eye threader
just started fishing just two days ago, absolutely loved it and ive now found my new hobby, im so eager to get into it ive gone a brought the margin edgemonster pole, now im just ready to set it up but they only thing im unsure of is the elastic is their specific elastic i should go for with the size and stuff? any recommendations for the elastic
Des mentioned joining one ness elastic to an old one to make it more simple to thread. I'm doing this, and wonder what knot Des uses for joining the old to the new please?
Thanks Des. Why didn’t you use the elastic lubricant on the pulla bead knot? Is it not as important? Thinking when you get snagged across and have to pull like mad to get your rig back.
Hi any advice please would be a great help.... I've a section of pole stuck inside another on the top 2 sections of my pole with the elastic snapped inside any ideas how I could get it out please?
Yes - it is a metal tool that can be used many times. Be careful when oncoiling and coiling not to kink or tangle the threader, and also just watch out so it doesn't incoil rapidly and pokes you in the eye!

Glad you enjoy them! Lube makes all the difference 😉
thanks des i'm new to pole fishing after using the waggler for the last 30 years.
Just returned to pole fishing last summer and looking at a new pole now, so very interesting to see the dacron in use as I wasn't really aware how they worked or how they connected to pole and rig.
First time I’ve seen you without a cap!!😃

Great video thanks Des, I’m new to Pulla kits simple and effective
Great video! I dont know anything about fishing with an elasticized pole, I've never seen anyone do it here in the US. I'm intrigued enough to subscribe and watch more of your videos. Thanks!
Its a very popular way of fishing over here in the UK mainly for catching small carp in competitions
@@koovar in the rest of europe (mainly western europe) it's also getting very popular. The fishing in the US has not evolved in any way
For a novice pole user that was brilliant Des, thanks. RB

Great video Dez love your relaxed friendly presentation style.
Fantastic video, steady as you go, most appreciated!!😁😁😁
Thank you! 😃
Thanks des. Just had my new pole. I'll do my elastics the same looks very neat the way you've done it. Thanks mate.
Thank you. We'll needed
Great Guide!!! Thanks a lot
Very useful tutorial sir👍
Great intro to elastication Desmond
Yes please this would be great 👍
Why do you put the large end of the Pulla bung bead towards the pole rather than the pointed end?
Geoff Lukins it’s because the bead on the Dacron has to fit snug on in between the Dacron and the elastic
Thread through the puller hole to the butt section 1st,make sure to put a loop on the puller hole end. Thread it all through then feed the end back up the pole to the tip section, you don't need a diamond eye threader
I love your videos Des hope I can be a fisherman for Preston one day

Beat elastic threading video on the net. Thank you.

You can also just use mono filament to pull the elastic threw the puller
Thanks Des. Why didn’t you use the elastic lubricant on the pulla bead knot? Is it not as important? Thinking when you get snagged across and have to pull like mad to get your rig back.
You can also use a diamond eye threader to put the pulla bead on to the elastic...
yea they work great too
Des what elastic would you use for down the margins
Hi any advice please would be a great help.... I've a section of pole stuck inside another on the top 2 sections of my pole with the elastic snapped inside any ideas how I could get it out please?
i use hard fishing line tp poke through and more easy
Hi des can I convert top two sections off old pole to the new style of pole
Do you mean to fit a side pulla? If so, you will need to get a reinforced wrap added.
Thank you do I get can. I get it done at tackle shop
I need that
Do you ever elasticate top 3 sections
Can u reuse dimond eye threader
Yes - it is a metal tool that can be used many times. Be careful when oncoiling and coiling not to kink or tangle the threader, and also just watch out so it doesn't incoil rapidly and pokes you in the eye!
How often should you change your elastic ?? Each year or more or less
I fish about 3 to 4 times a week, i change the elastic in all my topkits ones a year. So for me the elastic lasts about 200 sessions
At 2.30 mins what knot does Des tie, I can't see it properly?? Thanks
It’s more or less a ‘figure of 8’ knot I think mate. If you tie figure of 8, you should be fine 👍 that’s all I’ve done.
Des don't you double sleeve any more? If not why?
I can't see the benefit of a side puller, I thread the elastic through the top two sections attach a bung, and tie a stonfu to the tip.
It allows you to land fish quicker by tensioning the elastic
My pole hasn't got nothing like this 🤔
