Anyone know where you can buy bulk tube for to make tube n worm setup? Don't really feel like paying 12 bucks a wack for something i can make just as well :)

Thanks

Most major tackle shops carry it. I get mine from Rivers End B+T in Old Saybrook CT.

yea.... i was wondering if there was any online places that carried bulk rolls.

CMS in Nu Beige will sell you some lengths. Not a great deal but fair. That is where I get mine. Paul

FH,


Google up a search for plastic/latex tubing....found some sites this winter, not fishing related, that have a good deal on rolls....different colors and diameters to.


:eyes:

what do you guys use for the head of the tube?? I went to a handful of tackle shops today to try and find something that looked like a weighted swivel or a weighted leader...

best i could come up with was a swivel, egg sinker, leader wire, and alot of frustration trying to get the knot on the swivel close enough to the tube so that its nice and snug.

I think a trolling (tube shaped) sinker would work fine. If bass hit eels head on usually I would want my hook up close to the front. This is assuming you want to try some from the surf. A lot more durable than most plastic/rubber.

Trolling ... the end hook seems to catch.

im thinking more along the lines of tradtional trolling tube.

Ill stick with my plugs from the shore ;)

Get some ss wire and twist on a swivel ,then slide a 1 oz. egg sinker up to the swivel. Cut the tube to the length you like (don't forget to cut the tail end on an angle ) and put the wire thru it,and try to slide it over the sinker. Haywire your hook on the end and add worm. Some people like to put a stinger/trailer hook over the first hook .

Us surf morons always think surf even if the post says tube and worm :smash: did you find the sites? Some are medical related.

SNL corp. always great service for me.

I thinkKay has some tube stuff at Surfland Bait & tackle.:fishslap:

What ever type you choose make sure it comes in loose coils or on spools. Any tubing coiled and restricted with bands or zip tyes kinks the tube and it is useless. It sucks when your making tubes 24-30" and the stuff is kinked it never swims right

Here are some sites I used
