Daiwa Hydrolastic
Price: £14.99
Hook a big fish and Hydrolastic will increase to a higher rating as it is loaded with more 'give' than standard heavy elastics. Unlike other types Hydrolastic has a hollow construction, which is filled with a secret high performance fluid and is a fully patented design.
The elastic stretches first, then, when compressed, the internal walls close in and are held apart by the fluid. New for 2007 is the 14 to 18 rated Purple. Ideal for those power situations where black is at its limit and red is beyond what you need. And if they are running big and Red isn't enough then we have the new 20+ Extra Power Brown. All colours are supplied in 3m lengths.
