tungsten rig tubing

[Sam Lloyd]

pros and cons ? does it sit considerably better than standard tubing ?

 

[Peter Littleworth]

A big yes there, very soft , hugs the bottom well, far better than any other type..

In carp fishing yes Sam, pins your line hard on the bottom, excellent not too sure if this applies in barbel fishing, I've never used it

 

[Andrew Boyne]

Yes Sam - far better!

 

[John Walker]

if your line is tight to the rod tip then nothing is going to keep the line before the lead pinned to the bottom apart from using backleads and a fairly even riverbed, definately worth keeping this in mind

 

[Sam Lloyd]

not planning on using it for barbel hence other species board

Cant think of any cons for this Sam, I always use it when carp fishing, used to use ordinary silicon but when this was released yrs ago I havent looked back. I use about a three foot piece.

i also have used this in my carp fishing since it was put on the market, before that i used a silicon or plastic tubing with heavy metal putty wrapped and moulded around the top of the tubing, the line isnt quite as free to pull through the tungsten tubing but still free enough not to deter a taking fish

Definately worked this John, was a good idea with the putty before tungsten tubing came out. Still is.
