Key Specifications

Choosing Your Diameter

• 0.10mm (Fine/Fragile): This is the surgeons tool of bait elastics. It is specifically designed for delicate, soft baits like Blow Lugworm, Maddies (Harbour Rag), Mussels, and delicate Peeler Crab. It provides enough pressure to secure the bait without cutting through and ruining the presentation.

• 0.20mm (Medium/Heavy): When its time to size up, the 0.20mm is the workhorse. This is perfect for securing tougher, bulkier baits such as Squid mantles, Cuttlefish, Mackerel fillets, and large Pennel rigs for Cod or Bass. It provides the clamping force needed to survive high-impact casts with heavy baits.

Where & How to Use It

• Long-Range Shore Casting: If you are giving it the beans to reach a distant sandbank, bait elastic is mandatory. It prevents your bait from sliding down the hook or flying off mid-air due to centrifugal force.

• Hybrid Cocktail Baits: Use the 0.10mm to lash a piece of tipped squid onto a lugworm. This creates a neat, streamlined sausage that is much more aerodynamic and stays together even when small fish are nibbling at it.

• Protecting Soft Baits from Crabs: By wrapping your bait tightly, you make it much harder for crabs to pull it off the hook. It forces them to work harder, giving the fish more time to find your bait first.

• Pennel Rigging: When using a two-hook Pennel set-up for big predators, use the 0.20mm elastic to bridge the gap between the hooks, ensuring the bait doesnt bunch up at the bottom hook.

Gerrys Pro Tip:

Dont over-wrap! A few tight turns are better than fifty loose ones. You want the bait to look natural, not like a mummy. If youre using the 0.10mm on worms, just a few wraps around the head and the hook eye is usually enough to keep it perfectly straight during a 100-yard cast
