I've been using electrical tape but after reading this thread I might go back to pole elastic.

The ESP stuff is supposed to have a diameter of 0.45mm, that seems to be extremely thin.
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the thinnest pole elastic approx 1mm ?

+1 for pole elastic
Go to your local tackle shop, find a diameter and colour you like, just avoid the hollow stuff, unless you want it.

I was watching a korum new product release video last night on YouTube, they have just released a bright green one with a flat profile more like a thin tape, looks pretty decent too

I have found the stuff from the carp brands to be pretty poor - snaps too easily & leaves large knots.

I had some fine match stuff that was amazing - very fine, supple & knotted down superbly to leave a small knot on the line & I could leave longer tags to ensure I could see it easily. it was purple but not sure of the brand.

I tend to use the middy pole elastic in purple colour/strength, never had any issues nice and thin, grips the line and easy enough to remove when you're finished by just rubbing it up and down the line. Never snags on a cast

Ive used the fox stuff for years. I found the korda one slightly too thick

After some more as mine has just ran out.
Had some Avid stuff but wasn't overly impressed with it, just wondering if anyone has recommendations for a good brand or are they all pretty much the same?
