My syndicate banned the Rigmarole tubing with the metal inside on the basis it was the same as leadcore. I've used the ESP heavy tubing for years. No problem with it all but I now prefer Nash No Spook Tubing. Threads with no problems but I do put a couple of small blobs of putty on it to pin it down.

Not used the Rigmorole stuff. But as far as I'm aware isn't it basically a metal coil inner with a braid outter. Does it have a habit of kinking then?
Which is one of the main reason idont like using leadcore.

If you are using tubing and struggle to thread it my tip is to mark the mono with a pen the length the tubing is.
It can be so frustrating not knowing how much left you have to thread ,often pulling it out to start again, when there maybe only a couple of inches to go.
I've found this to be as good as any other..

. . .it is lined with a metal coil and it looks like leadcore but its tubing . . .pretty supple and heavy, can kink but only if you store it wrong / physically bend it with your hands. Leadcore is spliced or knotted and is a fixed leader that can be hard for a fish to shift in the event of a mainline break . . .rigmarole tubing simply slides off . . .great stuff

Cheers All, 
The bailiff in question is a known pain in the @rse with nothing better to do. He probably took a disliking to me as I caught two and he had blanked for 4 days!

So basically he only wanted to check your rig so he could see what he was doing wrong. No doubt he will be using the same set up next time he's down fishing

likes been said ignore the bailiff,you aren't breaking any rules..if you decide on going with tubing cut the mainline at an angle and thread it through dry tubing..or what I sometimes do is cut the tubing into equal lengths,at 2 3 or even 4 shorter lengths. it separates during the cast pinning the line down at different lengths along the mainline but slides back down the line when under tension.

Wish I had thought of that. I don't think anything has made me swear as much as threading tube, including hook pulls, casting into trees and leaving all my bait at home.
