MAP TKS Twin Core Hollow Elastic video - YouTube
The MAP TKS Twin Core Hollow Elastic gives pole anglers one hollow-elastic range to cover everything from winter F1s to stronger margin carp. The current version is supplied in 6m packs, enough for two standard top kits or three shorter F1-style kits.
Its twin-core design is built around smooth stretch, fast recovery and durability. MAP positions it as quicker to retract than conventional solid elastics, which helps when a fish changes direction and the elastic needs to recover cleanly.
The eight-grade range starts at 3-6 Green and runs through to 16-20 Purple. That gives a useful ladder from soft F1 and skimmer work through to power-kit situations where larger carp need steering away from cover.
This elastic makes particular sense for anglers who want value from a longer pack without narrowing the range of uses. The 6m format is handy for matching several top kits to the same grade, especially on venues where duplicate kits save time.
The angler should choose the rating by fish size and venue pressure, not just by the colour they already use. The softer grades lean towards controlled winter work, while the top end is better kept for power kits and margin pressure.
