fishingrich1982 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 hi all i have just brought some sinking rig tubing to use instead of leadcore. i brought the korda kit that comes with tubing and swivles and leadclips but what i want to know is how to thread the line through the tubing i just cant seam to get it all the way through to the length i want. any tips please fells Quote
salokcinnodrog Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 I have no end of problems getting 15lb line through Korda tubing and refuse to buy the stuff because of that. I have no problems with Fox, Solar or Korum tubing, and buy their complete run ring kits. Cut the mainline at an angle and it should feed straight through the tubing with no problems. If it does cause a problem, put the run ring on the tubing, and attach a lead, the tubing is then held straight, and the line should go straight through it. Quote
fishingrich1982 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Posted July 25, 2011 good tip mate thnx will try that in a bit Quote
fishingrich1982 Posted July 25, 2011 Author Report Posted July 25, 2011 one more question what is a good length to have the tubing i just copied the length from a leadcore rig i had in my box thnx guys Quote
nakiandy Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 I use 2 foot lengths of tube, have been using tungsten tube recently, good stuff but does seem to break easily Quote
zammmo Posted July 25, 2011 Report Posted July 25, 2011 You can use fuse wire to pull the line through the tubing. Yea most tungsten impregnated tubing breaks easily... Quote
fishingrich1982 Posted July 26, 2011 Author Report Posted July 26, 2011 i was think about fuse wire or maybe some thin copper wire i wil also b giving that a go later thnx for replys guys Quote
jamestaylor Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 Esp anchor rig tube is my favourite. I usually thread 2 foot on (easy with the esp stuff) and then stretch it once its one the line, making it thinner and more supple and it stetches a long way, up to 3 foot. This does damage the line though so once i have stretched it i moisten the line and slide the tubing up a good 6 foot and cut of any damaged line! Hope this helps mate. Quote
cobleyn Posted July 26, 2011 Report Posted July 26, 2011 Gardener do a threader for tubing. Minimum length of the tube should be 2-3 inches longer than your hooklink. A blob of putty at the end of your tubing keeps it pinned. Quote
