You have to match your elastic to your expected species,not the venue bud!

Hi Ben
you'll probably open up right old can of worms on this mate.
Everyone has their own preferences.
I prefer Middy Hi-Viz for my really light elastics (up to size 6), it's got good stretch and lasts a while.
my heavy elastics I use my Steve Maher hollow, the same as i use on my power tops, just in lighter versions.
I've used both for years and they've never let me down.

Number 2 or 3 for squatt/pinkie fishing (2 for shallower water to stop them splashing), number 5 for caster/big maggot, number 8 for chopped worm, 12 or upwards for carp/chub (I prefer not to use hollows in canals as they stretch too much and fish can find snags before you get control of them).
