Does anyone make Fluoro or clear tubing or does anyone use PFA and does it sink?

Where I fish you have to use tubing and always wondered why no-one does a clear one - does it reflect light like a mirror?

Be good to get your thoughts

I think the issue would be the weighting of the tube. Before there were all the tungsten it was mostly silicon tube. Think it was one of the very early underwater videos that showed the air bubble build up that could give enough buoyancy so that it sat really badly.

I suppose you could blob clear tubing with putty but I would think the disadvantages outweighed using a good heavy dark tungsten tube that can sit down in the silt layer

I did think I'd seen it somewhere, guess putty has come a long way since those first underwaters - if it even existed?

Clear with flecks of tungsten running through it would be Ok too.

When you see OMC putting it on the shelves, you heard it here first 😂😂😂
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
