I never had issues with it coming off or damaging the line. a 5 turn well lubricated water knot pulled nice & tight so all of the elastic has stretched will ensure that it stays in place.

I just use the green Korda stuff. £3.50 lasts about 2 seasons, works perfectly well and the green is easy to see under head torch. Bit of over thinking going on here.

Agree, over thinking a minor issue, I used to use electrical tape, but have experienced it moving, so now use some solar elastic marker that I have had for ages. The reason I have had it for ages is, I mostly use wrap sticks now. There are odd occasions when their use is difficult.

I've used the Middy pole elastic for years, my preference is the yellow, might be thicker than the purple that I also use, but the yellow is far easier to spot in the dark.
I had the Taska pre cut lengths but found them too short to tie especially with cold hands in Winter otherwise the elastic was ideal.

Im not sure if im missing something, but the current orange fox edges marker elastic is £3.99 for 10 meters. The middy pole elastic is a similar price for only 5m.
As per my post at the start of the thread, i have found the fox stuff more than adequate.

Jewellery elastic in various colours/diameters/stretch is sub £2 for 10m, so half price.
If you can be bothered there's money to be saved on the Carp tax, if you can't then pay it, personally I pole fish too so I always have some
