  Korda Kamo Rig Tube
  
  Carp and Specialist > Accessories
  Brand: Korda
  Not only does rig tubing stop the hook link from wrapping around the main line on the cast preventing a tangle, it also stops the fish coming in contact with the line during the fight. This is a vital safety aspect of the rig which we feel should not be ignored. This tubing has a matt finish, which makes it harder to see underwater and most importantly easy to thread. It comes in three colours, all of which sink without the need for putty. It is also better to get the colour of the tube exactly right for the spot you are fishing and then weight it with extra putty. Camouflaged Weed - suits silkweed on the bottom and the vast majority of lake bed where a small amount of bottom weed/algae is present. Silt - perfect for silty waters and gravel pits where there is a lot of sediment collected, even on the gravel spots. Gravel - very light green and excellent on clean gravel bottoms, perfect for gravel pits. This one can be excellent in one part of the swim and looking like a laser beam in another. On clean gravel it's great but over silt or weed it stands out like a sore thumb. Clay - blends in nicely to any lake bed with clay and sand. TUBING TIPS Always cut the line to a point and straighten it out first before trying to thread it down the tube. Curly line with a flattened end is almost impossible to thread! This tube comes in large packets so the coils are kept as big as possible. It is also very supple so it straightens straight out of the packet. In winter, it may be necessary to warm it through your fingers to straighten it out before threading. If you take tubing off and you’re intent to reuse it then slide it up and down a tight line to get the silt etc out of the middle. It is dry gunk up inside the tube, which makes it so hard to thread a second time. You can leave line inside it and use it to pull a new bit through next time by simply tying an overhand knot around the new line and carefully pulling through. If you are pushing the tube into the top of a rubber, then cut it to a point before threading. The pointed tube pushes much easier into the rubber. Never glue the join as it makes it brittle, which will then snap after repeated use. When your tube has finally come to the end of its life cut it up into inch lengths put it in your tackle box and use it for hair stops, that's what I do.
