Hello Gents,
Been many years since I last used tubing [ esp anchor ] so a little out of touch.
I currently have a problem with Zebra Muscles and there is a leader ban on the water, so am after recommendations on the supplest tubing, I'm not worried about the sinking aspect as I can deal with this but really want it to follow the contours as much as possible, will most likely be using 1-2m lengths.
Thanks for any help or other suggestions.
Mark.

I've found the most supple, (by far), to be MCF hugger.

Agree mcf hugger is the best but may be tricky to thread 1m to 2m as it is so supple.

I've tried them all and MCF hugger is very supple, very heavy and easy to thread in 0.75m lengths I use

Depends on which BS (diameter) mainline you are using.
Technium 12lb I struggle, 15lb goes through easy peasy.

Thanks very much gents.
I went with Rigmarole micro braided tubing in 1m lengths as I can get it click & collect.
If it doesn't suit my requirements then I'll be giving the MCF stuff a go.
How things have moved on, watched the videos for both products and the suppleness looks incredible, years ago I had to stretch the old ESP Anchor tubing in places to make it more likely to follow the contours.

The ESP Tungsten tubing is wortha look. i'm not sure how it compares but used some when i had a weekend on a water that bans leadcore last year and i was impressed with the density and suppleness of it, certainly compared the the old anchor tubing.
