I'm just about to elasticate a new whip, not done this before. Is there a pole winder bung on the market small enough for an internal bore of 9mm?

Most of the top manufacturers sell mini winder bungs, if they're still too big it is possible to cut them down to fit...

Cheers.
I think we all have a drawer or a space to store those "I won't chuck that, it may come in useful one day"

The nib end of a ball point pen fitted perfectly.:thumbs:

In the early 70s when poles were elasticated with the use of a crook I was shown a way to elasticate poles using a bead, we called it beading through.
It was just a bead stolen from my sisters necklace to fit the pole as a bung works now, it had elastic from the bead to the tip with a cord from the bead to the female end of the top kit. The tip of the pole was wrapped in PTFE tape that was teased into the pole with a match stick.
It was a real innovation at the time.
The stuff that's brought to mind by a single thread sometimes amazes me.
