Tubing for double-rig swivels

sharpcard · 10-01-11, 03:30 PM

In Bill Siemantel's videos he uses "hard tubing" to cover the swivels and it is supposed to keep the swivels from tangling. He says in the video that you can find tubing like it at any auto part store. Well...I can't. I have tried heat shrink and wire covering but they don't work well.

Does anyone know what he is talking about and how to find it. I fish double flukes a lot and would like to try it with his swimbaits too, but it does tangle pretty easy without the tubing on it.

I believe it's something like this:

It's commonly called surgical tubing. Should be able to get some at your local hardware store.

You also could check with your local lawn mower dealer/repair shop. It appears to be the sizes of small 2 cycle engine fuel line. Tygron is a brand which is yellow and translucent that might work for you.
