  Ok.This was shown to me by a friend – not my invention but they work great ( we both have daiwa poles, you would have to try first on other makes ).
  1.You use the silicon nozzles supplied with sealant tubes,smooth down the rough ends in seconds with a file.
  2.Widen the narrow end with a terminal screwdriver until you can force an internal bush in it ( I use 3.2mm, its up to you ).
  3. Put it gently into the base of your top kit thick end first, it should stop with the thin bit just inside the end of the kit, if not add a thin wrap of tape to the thick end of the nozzle until it does.
  4.Make sure your topkit will fit as normal, daiwa poles will.
  5. Thread elastic as normal and through the nozzle, secure with a stonfo which doubles as your pulla and will just show at the end of your topkit.
  6.Lighter than shop versions and removable with long nosed pliers if needed.

  Sounds ok but ive had fish pull that hard ive heard the puller bung being pulled further up the top kit so if this happend with the silicone tube end it would crack the top kit?? Other than that would probably be ok for smaller fish but you never know what your going to hook.

  Just started making these myself but using them with elastic through just a number 2 section.
  I use a mastic nosel but cut the narrow end and araldite a 6″ length of carbon fibre tube in place and finish with an external bush at the end the elastic is pulled from.
  Ideal for fishing long and shallow with a reduced weight of elastic in the pole.
  Had ghost carp to 13lb with no real issues.

  Firstly make sure the hollow tube is a very tight fit through the pointy end of the nozzel, then cover the last 10mm of the hollow tube in araldite rapid, insert through the wider end of the nozzel until it just protrudes by a couple of mm out of the pointed end, then use the remaining araldite to fill the conical nozzel. leave it to set so the araldite flows and fills any gaps around the tube.
  
  As for the cone being pulled further up the section, yes this has happened to me and I pulled the bung back out using forceps and icreased the nozzel diameter by using a couple of turns of electrical sticky tape. A preston puller can just as easily get pulled up the section as a homemade one.

  I have the preston pulla kits, the home made ones are lighter,always central and have never broke.I use them with all heavy grades of elastic and never had one break.Each to your own, but I prefer them,use the sensas ptfe bush and stonfo and they are then pennies to make.
