small OD surgical tubing
« on: Dec 21, 2008, 11:00 AM »
I'm wanting to find some small surgical tubing or something similar to slide down my line and over the eyelet to help keep horizontal jigs horizontal. I know others do this and was wondering where you get your supplies. I found some on ebay that may work. Just curious what some other iceheads use.


See you on the frozen pond.......Mike

Merry Christmas! http://www.mudhole.com/s.nl/it.A/id.6420/.f?sc=2&category=1 I will vouch for these guys, they run a tight ship.

You can build a rod too! ;D

Coffee stir sticks can be cut and used for this purpose too.

If you have no medical supply store near you try a hobby store that sells gas powered models. I found one that has 1/16th inside diameter fuel lines. Not sure what the outside diameter is but its smaller than anything i got at the medical supply store.

It's not exactly surgical tubing, but you could also use the tubing that storm uses to cover the hook points on their wildeye swimbaits.
Just a thought. :)
