what the papers say

Like many top anglers these days, Alan likes Vespe elastic, not least because its fluorescent colour-through formulation makes it easy to see when a fish is being played. Today he's using orange No 3 through two sections.

"You'll find the elastic works perfectly with a little lubrication from something like Vespe Slippery Eel".

Alan Scotthorne MATCH ANGLING PLUS

Mid way through the session, Kieron Rich decided that his grade four Vespe elastic needed lubricating with the Vespe Slippery Eel solution. He squirted it in at the bung end and interestingly blew through the pole and, with the top lowered, bubbles emerged from the tip! A rather novel way of ensuring the lube hits the spot!

"I've been very impressed with the Vespe range of products. For the type of fishing I do there's nothing to rival them. The bung system, with it's removable winder, allows me to change the tension in seconds".

Gus Brindle MATCH ANGLING PLUS

"Hookbait was single bloodworm initially, then four bloodworms and a maggot for the bream, on a size 16 DAM Sumo hook. I used 0.12 mm Damyl Tectan main line and Vespe No 4 elastic, and caught five bream, fifteen good roach and a few perch and ruffe".

WHAT's NEW - VESPE LANDING NETS

These landing net heads from Vespe are among the strongest on the market and as such they're perfect for stillwater carp fishing. The mesh size of around 12mm diameter allows the heads to be swept through the water quickly and the monofilament construction means no snagged hooks. Two sizes are available, 47cm and 50cm across.

GOOD GEAR GUIDE - VESPE TOP TWO BUNGS

Small enough to fit into a second section, these new style bungs have a fixed elastic holder attached, instead of the detachable winder - an improvement on the original pattern. It holds enough elastic for you to tighten or loosen it, or to re-tie the connector if required. The extractor is used with a simple lock-in-twist action.

VESPE SLIPPERY EEL

So many fish are lost through sticking elastic that I can't understand why some anglers persevere with pole tips that aren't cut back enough and elastic lubricants that don't work This Vespe Slippery Eel might only be half of the solution but it certainly works and it doesn't damage any of the elastics currently on the market.

MATCH FISHING

"Slippery Eel lubricant, a couple of minutes spent fine tuning is well worth the sacrifice in order to get everything flowing smoothly, its critical to have your elastic running freely"
