Tube hook protectors

Anyone know where I can get some of the tube hook point protectors some plugs come with? I tried searching on eBay but came up with nothing. I don't even know what to call them.

Or maybe you have the specs on the tube so I can just buy some of that?

Thanks,
rebaalk

Okay thanks everybody.

But the dang search on eBay... if you say "hook protectors" you get nothing but those treble things. You say "hook protector" you get the tubes I was looking for. What a difference an s makes. Some days you can't win.

Try "vinyl tubing" in your search.

Remember to take the tubing off when test swimming a plug. I made a couple that were pisser with the tubing on, but turned out they were lousey with it off. had to change hook size to get decent action.
