Tubes

Tubing, cones, line aligners

The anti-tangle tube is a simple and effective device designed to prevent the rig from twisting around the main line. It consists of a plastic tube bent at an angle, often featuring a clip to attach the weight. The main line is threaded through this tube and tied at one end to a stopper or swivel, to which the rig is then attached. The advantages of this system come from the fact that during casting, the rig is pushed away from the main line, preventing twists, and that the line slides inside the tube, which aids in the quick and easy transmission of signals from the hook.

Heat shrink tubes are tubes that can be used when extending the hook shank to create rigs with superior hooking properties. The heat shrink tube is used to enhance the hooking mechanics of any hook, giving the rig a curvature in line with the hook's point. It is positioned and can be heated with steam or a heat source, causing it to shrink and secure the tube in place.

Line aligners are small devices that slide over the hook eye and shank to give the hook an aggressive hooking angle. Their utility is related to the hook's turn, with the point oriented downwards when the fish inhales the bait, reducing the chances of the fish spitting out the bait and hook without getting hooked.

Anti-tangle cones are cones made from flexible materials, ideal for securing rigs attached to swivels or quick clips. Designed to push the rig away from the main line when launching the setup into the water, they help eliminate tangles.
