delkimtxi Posted February 11, 2006 Report Posted February 11, 2006 try steaming the line that you will thread then cut the line on an angle so it slides better Quote

salokcinnodrog Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 Diamond Eye tube threader, easy, job done. Had mine for years, only problem is with some of the very thin softtubing that I like to use. Another way is to make sure that you cut the line at an angle so it goes through the tube and then keep the tubing pointing straight down by hanging a lead from the bottom end. I normally have a paper clip with one end I have filed to a point and push it through the very end of the tubing. Hang a lead on it and the tubing stays straight as you thread it. :D Quote
mick1396 Posted February 13, 2006 Report Posted February 13, 2006 i prefair leadcore and safe zone leaders but everyone to their own:D What do you do on waters that have banned leadcore? or is that not a problem yet? Quote
