Knd

[rayner]

Anyone had any issues with KND hollow pole elastic.
It's less than half the cost of Preston hollows, that's a big saving. It's only a saving if it's on par with the more costly branded.
I'd be interested to hear your thoughts.

Not used KND personally but I suspect there ain't a lot of actual manufacturers so they are probably all from less than a handful of production lines. I use Nick Gilbert elastics and have not had any problems at all, he has a flat shipping rate of £2.00 no matter how much you order.

A lad who fishes with me has KND in a couple of topkits, he is pleased with it,
Nick Gilbert elastic is made in the same factory as hydro elastic but without the liquid filling,
I have heard mixed reports on it, more good than bad though, I think the bad ones are when he
brings a new one out and it takes time getting used to it,
I use Preston Hollo and Dura Hollo, from 13h through to 17h on side pullers, other top kits have
solid elastic in them, A solid will work better than hollow in the colder months,

Thanks chaps.
I did look at Nick Gilberts, the only difference was that the NKD work out about a quid cheaper. Plus post free.
A quid is negligible, the cost is less than half of Preston Hollow. I reckon I will send for a length of KNG and see how it handles.
