I’ve been using Drennan Bungee for a few years now, it’s never let me down.

drennan gets my vote ~clap ~clap ~clap

Im a big fan of Hydro.

Another vote for Drennan Bungee, was the first elastic I ever used. Have tried other hollows and solids since but have always come back to it as nothing else felt right.

I use for everything bar silvers in winter when I drop down to a solid 4-6.

Hydro for me although i do like the garbolino pink hollow for skimmer fishing

hydro for me

but also like the blue prston 15h

just started using Maver Dual Core 10 -13 for up in water for carp from 4lb to 10lb..white hydro too soft and other elastics too heavy.

also use drennan pink (16-20) set soft for down the edge for fish to low doubles.

9h preston for silvers

white hydro for small carp and f1’s

Maver Dual Core Original 6-10 and 12-20

or Future hollow 23+
on ebay from bluelinda222 for £6 a spool, lever let me down fishing into stickups.

Same as dunno the Image hollow bluelinda sells on ebay is cock on and the slightly imperfect stuff is even cheaper and works perfectly.

I’ve used the Middy and Preston hollows as well as Hydro and they’re all good! Hydro does last longer but you’ll still get a few seasons out of the others too.

Drennan Carp bungee had some in for over a year…..

I was keeping the imperfect stuff to myself….. its chief considering it costs £3, a few tiny blisters on one end, I just stick that end on the bung, but SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH dont tell anyone

thanks for the replys, i will have to give that future stuff a try. i heard once that drennan stuff bottoms out it doesnt go back to its original shape? just leaves a sorta flat spot. is this the case?

No

I am only an occasional user of hollo/stronger elastic , which is why I use hydro. I have just used some black elastic which has been in the pole for 5 years and it was as new and I landed fish to 15lb. Other hollos I have used/put in the pole, have deteriated over time, even without being used. Now I buy once and buy hydro.

The yellow drennan bungee is superb and a great all round carping elastic

Red vespe is also great when you need to step up a notch

Wilkie orange is great for proper lads down the edge

It’s a case of finding what suits your style as you can see I use 3 different brands for different applications

If you go fishing once every 5 years cos you been making babies go for Hydro….
See you Sunday Merch….

drennan bungee for me to also use black hydro and m.a.p white hollo

also if you get the m.a.p hollo in the 10 to 12 its the same stuff as white hydro just with out the liquid in it me and a few mates have tryed it compared to white and cant tell the difference at all and its half the price

Vespe all the way.

When he was selling it Wilkie was getting his stuff from the same place as Vespe so it is the same thing I believe.

Hydro for me, Drennan bungee is also quality stuff.

Hey Dave I supose it is a bit odd these days but I sometimes fish without even setting up a pole, and I seldom fish carp only venues and rarely target them, got bored with that about 1985.
I am working Sunday, or did you mean someday. I hear you may be joining us for winter league, you better start the deep breathing exercises and remember to count to ten.
