Shrink tubing

[greekskii]

Running out of shrink tubing now and need to replenish the stocks. Always looking out for the cheaper options, problem being I really like the translucent type, the Korda gravel and clay colours are what I've used before. 

I cant seem to find similar colours for any cheaper. Solid colours I can find on huge rolls. But not these. Anyone found them before? Know of anywhere?

There you go cheaper than the korda stuff

Yeah I'm after 1.2/1.6mm. If nothing turns up it'll be the same stuff. Or the ace stuff. Not a major expense but always interesting to find out

Yes. Was my first port of call. Haven't found any translucent apart from the angling brands

[pooter]

Do you mean clear when you say translucent ? Perhaps I need a dictionary. Anyway, thats where I got clear stuff from but it was a while back. Sold in metre lengths.

 

Is this any good?

Is it worth getting clear/grey and then blobbing it with those coloured marker pens to camouflage?

£12.95 p&p :

You need to highlight it from the first w and paste it into the address bar, the link I put is the same, but shorter to click on

Can't put a link up at the minute but I'm after similar to the Korda stuff. It's basically see through green or grey. 

[pooter]

They probably buy it by the kilometre on special order.

I understand about personal preference and confidence but clear works for me,I would even try red maybe yellow on a runs water too.

It's not for use at the hook end.

I must confess I buy mine direct from Maplins, or Solar Tackle if I need short lengths.

I don't worry that the Maplins stuff is black with white writing on it, I'm sure that the carp can't read the small print.
