Product Information

Full details

The Preston Innovations Internal PTFE Bushes are essential components for pole anglers looking to maximize the performance of their elastic setups. Designed for durability and smoothness, these bushes ensure that elastic flows freely from the pole section without friction or tangling, making them ideal for both casual and competitive fishing. While they offer superior material quality and a wide range of sizing options, users must ensure they select the precise diameter that matches their specific pole tip section to guarantee a secure fit.

FAQs

How do I choose the correct size?

Measure the internal diameter of your pole tip section carefully and select the bush size that matches or provides the tightest fit without forcing.

Are these bushes compatible with all pole brands?

Yes, as long as the internal diameter of your pole tip matches the specification of the bush.

Do I need to glue these in?

While a snug fit is often enough, many anglers prefer a tiny drop of adhesive to ensure the bush stays in place during high-tension scenarios.

Can I use these with solid elastic?

Yes, these bushes are designed to work perfectly with both solid and hollow elastic types.

How often should I replace them?

Inspect regularly for grooves or rough spots. If the surface is no longer smooth to the touch, it is time for a replacement.

Troubleshooting

The bush feels loose inside the pole tip

Ensure the pole has not been cut too far back; use a small amount of appropriate adhesive to secure the fit if the diameter is slightly off.

Elastic is sticking or not retracting smoothly

Clean the inside of the bush with a damp cloth and apply a high-quality elastic lubricant to both the bush and the elastic.

Difficulty inserting the bush

Check that the carbon tip is perfectly circular and free of jagged edges from the cutting process; smooth the edge with fine sandpaper.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior elastic movement reduces the risk of breakages
  • Extremely durable material resistant to wear and tear
  • Wide array of sizes provides compatibility for almost any pole
  • Smooth finish prevents elastic damage during high-tension play

Cons

  • Requires precise measurement of pole tip for correct fit
  • Installation requires careful alignment within the pole section
  • Not intended for external bush mounting

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, first ensure the tip of your pole is cut back to the appropriate diameter matching the bush size. It is recommended to use a fine-grade abrasive to lightly smooth the carbon edge before inserting the bush with a small amount of contact adhesive if necessary. Regular care involves checking the bush for any signs of deep scoring after heavy use. Always clean the internal bore with a soft cloth and warm water to remove any buildup of elastic lubricant or silt, which can inhibit performance over time.
