Does anybody know if 25lb Camh20 fits down the standard size tubing?

I can see that they do a wide bore version but this only comes in the 1m lengths, longer than I would like to use. Is it possible to cut down and re-shrink yourself?

Cheers

I've been cutting it down and reshrinking for years and never had a problem, just use sharp scissors to cut it.

Braid scissors are fine and to be extra safe some shrink tube at each end to finish it off nicely

👍👍

Can I ask why you don't like 1m lengths? I don't like anything less than 1m

I only really use it for anti tangle, 600mm is enough. If I'm fishing the edge of a small spot then 1m of thick tubing going back into the weed is too much in my head.

Not sure I would want to use this tubing in shorter lengths, surely it's not supple enough to sit well, especially if you have weed about. The best tubing I have used by far is the korda Nano.

I've never used it, so no idea how flexible it is. Hence the thread for advice. Usually use the ESP tungsten tubing but like the idea of the extra weight to the Rig Marole.

I've ordered some of the standard and some of the wide bore to test.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
