elastics for short kits

[stephanie]

right so had a rummage in the garage and found some old top kits so after a bit of messing with a Dremel i now have a few short kits what strength elastics would you put in them they going to be mainly used for f1 carassios and the odd carp that gets mixed in my other kits have hollow in
4x10/12
4x12/14
4x14/16
and then some with solids
4x12
6x14
what elastics would people suggest for these kits

Have a look at the NG ultracore
White 6/8 winter?
Red 8/10 summer?

6-10 (White) Hydro. Or a 9 hollow for me.

I now use NG ultra core in all my short kits as its very stretchy but with a short kit I find I can control the fish.
6-8 1.4mm White ( not used it yet as its not winter! )
10-12 1.8mm Pink - Great for F1's with the odd carp ( Have had a low double )
16-18 2.4mm Green - I use this for carp 2-3lb shallow.
18-20 2.6mm Purple - Great for bagging on carp close, have use it for bags to nearly 400lb.
20-22 2.8mm Black - Only used it twise as I have just got it but seems good for 2-8lb carp often I have not touched the puller.

Always used Orange Hydro in short kits for up in the water F1's.

Orange hydro for me to, brilliant for f1's up to 3lb & occasional carp.

I prefer Preston 11h, great for F1s will handle odd Carp too.
