I got myself a couple of the Gardner tube threaders, even if the tubing isn't playing ball it makes it a doddle to thread.

I use the korda dark matter tubing. Very good no issues at all.

If you haven't seen this and have had trouble threading tubing have a look at this, its helped me out a ton when threading tubing of any length.

The only tubing I've used is the korda dark matter stuff, which is brilliant, but expensive. I've used the threading technique in the video on this and had a problem with it breaking after I have used the method quite a few times but maybe due to me squeezing too hard. But very heavy and sinks like a brick, and lies over the lake contours beautifully.
Plus went onto bank tackle stuff does not look good, cheap looking stuff

I use korda stuff and ive tried a lot of different tubing, I dont understand the guys still saying the rig marole stuff is mega supple the last 3 packets ive bought are extremely stiff compared to previous of the same product. I have had to move away from it now that i cant source any of the supple stuff, I have still caught using it but its not the same as the stuff ive used before.

Cut line at 45 degrees before threading no problems, straight through korda dark matter

Well I got my rig marole braided tubing delivered recently and I'm not sure I like it. It seems very stiff and doesn't look like it will take up the contours of the lake bed up very well. Anyone else use this tubing, what are your thoughts guys?

I use it and don't get the stiff comments? Sinks very well and follows the contours well

This stuff I got says it's got a stainless steel inner so I can't see how it can be supple. Can imagine yes it will sink very well with steel inside it. Does this sound like the same stuff your using?

By the way, when did you purchase yours as it seems like they've changed it along the way for some reason.

I thought the same, bought some a few years ago and put it straight into the bin. It was stiff/springy stuff that was impossible to thread.
Baffled me though as everyone raves about it.

When Rig Marole first released the tubing it was thin with a kind of spring inner that was extremely flexible. Absolutely brilliant. Then classically along came version 2 which was double the thickness but still quite flexible. Bloody awful. Thankfully I'm still going through all the Mk 1 version I bought when it came out. Can't comment on what's being currently sold.

HI Daz
Based on your comment regarding Mozzy rig tube, I placed a small order on Friday and received it today. Not had a chance to thread line yet but have to say its very supple.
Thanks for the prompt.

I've only started using it since the new version came out. Yeah it's thicker than others but as you say it sinks like a brick and is supple enough to follow contours . I really like it and if the original stuff was better then that's a bonus for anyone who has some
