PTFE Internal Bushes – Internal Bushes for Pole Tip

Preston Internal PTFE Bushes are fitted into the pole tip to allow the top elastic to run out smoothly and in a controlled manner. The high-quality PTFE has a smooth surface, while the shape of the bush supports free passage at the end of the pole section.

Smooth guidance at the pole tip

A correctly fitted internal bush creates a neat transition between the inside of the tip and the elastic. This reduces unnecessary friction at the exit point and allows the elastic to respond evenly during the fight.

The range includes versions for various elastic diameters, from light setups to heavier hollow elastic. For example, combine the bush with Preston Hollo Elastic and select the correct diameter using the product selector.

Frequently asked questions

Which Internal PTFE Bush diameter do I need?

Choose an internal diameter that leaves enough room for the fitted elastic to move freely. Measure both the elastic and the opening of the pole tip, then select the appropriate version on the product page.

Does the pole tip need to be shortened?

That depends on the diameter of the tip and the bush selected. Only shorten it as much as necessary to ensure the bush fits firmly and straight; if you are unsure, a rod repairer or experienced retailer can carry out the fitting.

Why use PTFE for an elastic bush?

PTFE has a very smooth surface. This allows the elastic to move more easily through the bush and reduces friction at the contact point on the pole tip.
