Got this tip off this site earlier......Central Vacuum Tubing. They sell it at some Homey's and it only $4 an 8 foot section....more durable than the Flo light tubes but not as thick as the PVC pipe

I swap the heavy tubes out for the thin/lite ones.

that's almost as bad as $20 for a telephone cord lanyard that you can make at home for $3

I ordere the square lure storage tubes from nj tackle ...clear tape them together ...punch drain holes and done $ 1 per tube..they expand so you can easily play around with double entries lol [ gotta take this & this and thiiis !! ] the inserts i originally recieved with my surfcaster bag were to heavy...for me

they can crack after a season but for a WHOLE $1 so what.

I was going to go with the nj tubes but they are a little too small.

Duck Tape?

Seems like vmc hooks would get stuck in duct tape pretty easily but if it works for you guys I guess I'll give it a shot.

I was thinking about making my own. How do you close off the bottom of the tubes so plugs don't get stuck?

I was going to stick the vs tubes in the skinz bag if they fit. I figured the insert would be cheap.

Duct tape - plugs won't fall thru and water still drains out.
