Korda Camo Rig Tube weedy green – 2 meters in the color weedy green!
A rig tube prevents the rig from tangling around the main line during casting. It also prevents the main line from cutting into the outer skin of the fish during the fight.
Danny Fairbrass once observed a fish getting tangled in the main line during a fight. The result was numerous torn scales. The angler in question had opted against using a rig tube, as he was fishing with a method feeder and had molded his hooklink into it. Because there was no longer any risk of tangling, he believed he could do without a rig tube. To the fish’s detriment, as it turned out.
Always use a rig tube! When used correctly, the tube is virtually invisible to the carp.
This tube sinks to the bottom of the water; additional weighting with putty is not necessary. This is an important aspect, as the better a rig tube conforms to the lake bed, the lower the risk of carp swimming into it. However, it is of course possible to add additional putty if you want to be on the safe side.
With the color weedy green, you will be right for most waters, as a little bit of weed or algae is present in almost every body of water.
Important tips:
Before threading your main line or leader through the tube, you should trim the end of the line to a point. You can achieve this by holding the scissors at an angle. In addition, you should straighten the line, as you will have no chance with a curled line. Our tube is supplied in a very large pack, which allows us to avoid a strong coiling effect. Furthermore, the tube is made of a very soft material, making it easy to straighten.
In winter, it is advantageous to warm the tube in your hands. It is then easier to pull straight. If you remove the tube from the main line to thread it back on shortly afterwards, you should slide it back and forth over the main line a few times before taking it off. This removes any mud and sand particles that might otherwise make re-threading difficult later on.
Another tip:
When removing the tube, you can always leave a piece of main line inside it. The main line must, however, protrude from the tube on both the left and right sides. You can then use this piece of line to thread the new main line: simply tie an overhand knot in the piece of line, attach the new main line to it, and pull both through the rig tube.
When threading the rig tube into a rig rubber, you should trim the tube to a point and moisten both parts with saliva beforehand. Never bond the tube, clip, and rig rubber with glue. This would make the tube material brittle. And a final piece of advice: if you no longer wish to use the rig tube, do not throw it away. Cut into small pieces, it can still provide valuable service as a boilie stop.
