Best Pole Under £200 ?

thanks guys, i've emailed my local asking if they stock the shimano and what else they have in the price range
 
the shimano looked and felt the part so i've had one put aside for me at my local. thanks everyone :) i promise i won't post a thread in a week or so saying "which elastic?" ;)
 
Hydro is a bit softer giving you a range of fish sizes you can catch without changing top kits, it helps stop bumping small fish and stops you being under-gunned if you hit a lump.

You will find many types of hollow core elastics on the market, some are cheap and others like hydro are around 12-14 quid per section. I use Maver hollow core and Daiwa Hydro with Preston pulla bungs.

I would either go for a loose number 8 solid latex elastic, white or grey hydro or the Maver dual core extreme hollow elastic in grey.
I would still use a pulla bung so that if you did hit a lump you can put the brakes on the fish using the elastic.
