The NuFish Pole Elastic Threader is a 3-metre tool designed to make re-elasticating a pole top kit quick and straightforward. Threading elastic through damp carbon sections or thick hollow elastic can be awkward and time-consuming, and this threader removes the guesswork by letting you pull the elastic through cleanly in seconds. It suits pre-match preparation at home as well as bankside repairs when an elastic snaps mid-session. To use it, feed the threader down through the top kit from the tip bush to the base, slot the new elastic through the eye once the wire emerges, then pull the wire back out through the tip. The wire is stiff enough to push past internal moisture or debris but flexible enough to coil away neatly for storage, and it seats the elastic without twists. - Product Type: Pole Elastic Threading Tool - Overall Length: 3 Metres (300cm) - Wire Material: Flexible, Kink-Resistant Wire - Eye Design: Low-Profile Diamond Capture Loop - Elastic Compatibility: Suitable for all Solid, Hybrid, and Hollow Elastics - Top Kit Compatibility: Fits 1-piece, standard 2-piece, and top-3 kits Key features: - Generous 3-Metre Length: At a full 3 metres long, it easily accommodates standard two-piece top kits, short F1 kits, and even extended top-three sections. - Friction-Free Operation: The smooth, flexible wire glides effortlessly down your carbon pole sections without scratching the internal walls or snagging on dried pole lube. - Secure Diamond Eye: The specially designed capture loop securely grips both micro-fine solid elastics and heavy-duty hollow elastics without pinching or damaging the material. - Ultimate Time-Saver: Turns a frustrating, gravity-dependent chore into a rapid, stress-free 10-second job. - Highly Durable: Constructed from tough, kink-resistant wire that can be tightly coiled up for ultra-compact storage in your tackle box drawers. Where it is useful: - Home Tackle Preparation: Perfect for those pre-season evenings when you need to strip and replace the old, worn elastic across your entire arsenal of top kits. - Bankside Emergencies: If your elastic snaps midway through a crucial match, this tool allows you to thread a fresh length of elastic in seconds, getting you back to catching fish without losing vital time. - Commercial Carp Fisheries: When the weather warms up and the fish are fighting harder than expected, you can quickly step up to a heavier hollow elastic right there on the bank. - Winter Silverfish Leagues: The ultra-fine profile easily passes through the tiniest micro PTFE bushes used for light solid elastics when targeting winter roach and skimmers. Will the eye of the threader fit through very small PTFE tip bushes? Yes, the threading eye is designed with a very low profile. By gently squeezing the loop, it will easily pass through even the finest micro PTFE bushes used for ultra-light solid elastics. Is 3 metres long enough for a top 3 kit? Absolutely. A standard modern top-two kit is generally around 2.4 to 2.7 metres long. At a full 3 metres, the NuFish threader provides more than enough length to easily reach through standard kits and most top-three configurations. Will the wire kink and become unusable over time? The threader is constructed from a specialized, high-quality wire designed to be heavily kink-resistant. As long as you coil it in a natural circle when storing it back in your seatbox, it will remain perfectly straight and fully functional for years. Can I use this for thick 3mm or 4mm hollow elastics? Yes. The capture loop is flexible and can be opened up slightly to accommodate the thickest hollow elastics on the market, securely pulling them through wide-bore commercial top kits without a problem.
