Has anyone got a definitive answer on which size pole elastic will do the job. I need some elastic, that fits. TIA.

I got some 1.5 mm pole elastic and it was just a bit small. Works but not a tight fit , I'd say 2 or 2.5 mm would be good

Yep there's another one too, can I remember it

@ runneil, coincedence, the elastic I use on my old Solar Depth Charges is Preston Slip System No14, 1.8mm and it's not super tight, I can move the lead on coated braid breaks without it bunching, but I reckon 2mm+ would make it very secure.

Thanks, I happen to have some esp silicon in various sizes, the 1.0mm fits perfectly. Saved me buying pole elastic. Job done.
Are you sure?
