Hook Covers.

G'day Matt

Not a wierd idea at all. I used to use ciggarette filters as hook protectors and they do a pretty good job, although I do find the tubing a lot better. (it looks better, plus doesn't fall off as the filters tended to have a habit of doing when I used them)

I have been looking in to ordering in a bulk lot of the tubing to make it available to members here (amongst a few other things) although the person I have bought it from in the past doesn't seem to be interested in a bigger order so I will source another supplier. Preferably if I can find out who the distributor of the stuff is will be better as I'll be able to get it cheaper for us all

I buy my tubing at one of those cheap oulet shops in the craft section.

I use the tips from cotton buds see photo

hey guys,

this might sound a little funny,
i use these things called scoobies
(all the kids use  them for making wristbands etc,)
basically its a thin piece of tube normally coloured, although i found a huge packet at the $2 shop with transpearant colours, works perfectly and ive got that much of the stuff i doubt il ever have to buy any again,

i think this might even be the brand i bought,
when u pull a single strand out its pretty clear and when its on the hook you never know,

hope that helps,

NANDO stay near the beach................
