Try tennis ball tubes with a little duct tape to hold together. I fit 4 in my Bronco bag and they don't weigh squat

Frasier: Niles, I’ve just had the most marvelous idea for a website! People will post their opinions, cheeky bon mots, and insights, and others will reply in kind!

Niles: You have met “people”, haven’t you?

See, that's the kind of stuff that old surf guys are made of. Back when I started surfcasting (in the dark ages) there were no surf bags available. We went to the local Army/Navy store and bought WW2 gas mask bags. We fabricated tubes out of lots of different materials and they lasted about 5 years before the canvas would rot out from the salt.

I've put the cobra bag through the ringer. No tears or loose stitching. I like the material it is made out of. I have the ebb point 4 tube in it.

Also even if it is a super tight fit when putting the tubes in, the bag will break in and over time it will get easier to jam stuff in front and back of it. Sometimes I just put two tubes in it for plugs and a water bottle then put my riggies next to the tubes.
