Bait elastic is a thin, stretchy thread used to secure soft or delicate bait to the hook. It is especially useful for bread, crab, shrimp, fish strips, liver, mussels and other bait that can come off during casting or in strong current.
Why use bait elastic?
Bait elastic holds fragile bait firmly without repeatedly piercing it. This keeps the bait compact, natural-looking and better presented on the hook. It is widely used in sea fishing, feeder fishing and carp fishing with soft bait.
How to use bait elastic
Wrap the elastic several times around the bait while it is on the hook. You do not need to tie a knot; the stretch keeps it in place. Dispenser tubes make it easier to apply the elastic without tangles.
