I have a metal band one also, but the nylon one seems to work a lot

There is a flexible springy piece that you can see at the front of the
picture. This is pushed through the conduit first and finds its way
through. Then there is a loop at the other end to which you can
attach the cables.

I've just been using one of these to draw singles through plastic
conduit and it works well.
