Product Information

Original Preston Slip Elastic is a familiar solid-elastic choice for pole anglers who want a simple, colour-coded setup. Its strength is not novelty, but the dependable feel that has kept it in use for years. The elastic is pre-treated with Preston Slip lubricant.

That helps it move through the top kit more smoothly, which is especially useful when using lighter hooklengths or playing fish close to the net. The range runs from fine size 2 through to powerful size 16.

That gives anglers a neat spread for delicate silverfish rigs, general mixed fishing and stronger commercial work without moving into hollow or hybrid elastics. Each pack contains 5m, so it is a practical buy for re-elasticating a top kit with spare length for setup and trimming.

The colour coding also makes it easier to recognise the elastic grade once several kits are in use. The sensible angler is someone who values easy setup, recognisable ratings and a proven solid feel. It remains especially relevant for anglers refreshing older top kits.
