I use both and cant fault either, only issue i find with the tungsten, is its very hard to re-thread the same bit of tubing if you are on the bank🤦♂️

It changed from the original and is far less supple to be fair, most tungsten tubing nowadays is excellent to be fair

That was exactly why a syndicate I used to be in banned it.

I've been using it exclusively for some time now even on waters that allow leaders as its just works perfectly . . .however I will say after some time you do need to check it to ensure any areas haven't frayed etc . . .checked on one set of rods I hadn't used for a while the other week and there was some wire poking out of an area that must have been subject to snags/abriasion without me realising - got binned and replaced with another length immediately

Love this stuff
My syndicate thought I was using leadcore which is banned
Most of the guys on there are now on it
I’ve never had any issues with it

Did they give you a reason why its banned? Or they just going on hearsay?

Been using it for several years never hadn't issues hard as nails and like anything once gone it is a risk no more than 20lb mono or braid though or leadcore. Imo once it cracks off it is so heavy it sinks into the silt in all but the hardest of lake bed areas

My Local club has banned the use of this tubing. When I enquired to why? They said the inner wire coil could unravel and lead to problems. I didnt enquire to whether that had actually happened on the waters or not? But I suppose it could be an issue if it did. Anyone actually experienced this happening on the waters they fish?

Been using it for a few years. Never had problems with regards to rule contravention using it, even where braid is banned. Sinks very well, extremely camouflaged as it picks up silt nicely and threads really easily.I find it especially good in the Crayfish infested waters I fish. Crays demolish tungsten tubing in no time, but the Rigmarole tubing totally resists their best efforts. The only downside is that the inner coiled wire (bit like a net curtain cable) is made of stainless steel. Should you crack off and not be able to recover the lost line, the outer fabric of the tubing will over time rot exposing the wire. I’ve heard of an instance of this wire being wrapped round a swan and causing severe injuries unfortunately.

There must be numerous variables of this tubing as i have bought 3 lots now bought months apart, the first one was by far the softest and hugged the bottom, the second lot the stiffest and the third lot in between the two!
