Fluorocarbon - shrink tube question

[onelastcast]

I want to put some shrink tube on my fluorocarbon knotless hair rigs. Will dunking the hair rig in boiling water weaken the BS of the fluorocarbon?

[tigernuttom]

no i dont think so, but just to be sure, you could always just steam the shrink tube, and not dnkt the whole lot in boiling water??

Or get the Hair Dryer onto them!

Thanks guys.

 

That sounds good. I was just a bit worried that any heat on fluorocarbon could damage it's strength.

I honestly dont think that you need shrink tubing on flourocarbon hooklinks. The stiffness of the hooklink material coming back out of the eye of the hook will give you the desired effect you are after.

Tony's right,the majority of anglers incooporate shrink tubing to help the hook turn and when tied with something like the knotless knot where it exits on the point side of the eye,it naturally flips the hook into position.

i dont like flourocarbon i think it will sit up off the botom funny but i would use shrink tubing either lol

As an avid flurocarbon fan i can assure you there is no need to use shrink tube the stiffness of the flurocarbon when tied with a knotless knot will give an angle to turn the hook so why complicate things.

Also there should be no problems with presentation as it will kick out from the lead and sinks like a brick.
