Cheers for that Steve, will have to give it a try. In the past I have found latex too be too stretchy and like you say ends up with fish out of control. Having said that I was very impressed with your set up at the Fisho. I use latex for all my canal fishing and swear by it - I must have just been hypnotised by Hydro every year and forgotten how good the latex is - like you say its super forgiveness should let you get away with alot and fishing a bit lighter.
You are definately right about the harder you pull the harder they do... only last year I worked this out and just started shipping more gently untill the pole tip was right near my feet then landing them from there - there must be an art to this - oh well role on the warm weather!!
