Tubes, cones, line aligners

The anti-tangle tube is a simple and effective device that prevents the rig from twisting around the main line. It consists of a plastic tube bent at an angle, often featuring a clip for attaching weights. We pass the main line through this tube and tie it at one end to a stopper or swivel, to which we then attach the rig. The advantages of this system come from the fact that during casting, the rig is pushed away from the main line, preventing twists, and the line slides inside the tube, which helps in quickly and easily transmitting signals from the hook.

The silicone tube is used either for securing hair rig lines to the hook shank or for attaching float rigs on the fishing line.

The 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 leader a curve that is in line with the hook's point. It is positioned and can be heated with steam or a heat source, which causes the tube to contract and secure it in place.

Line aligners are small devices that slide over the eye and shank of the hook to give it an aggressive hooking angle. Their utility lies in flipping the hook, with the point oriented downwards, when the fish inhales the bait, reducing the instances where the fish can spit out the bait and hook without getting caught.

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