Brian
When i spoke to him he did not have the plastic for inside the tube. I got mine from Ron.
Anyways don`t be getting any fancy ideas for using them on the Dee. I have banned them that week.

Not tried them yet brian, but have ordered some.
They look exactly the same as the slipstream ones Ron sells, minus liner.
size 8 or 9 portex tubing will do the job nicely.

Brian Anyways don`t be getting any fancy ideas for using them on the Dee. I have banned them that week. Too late I have quite a few tied up. I thought I might try 2 x 1" tungsten tubes in tandem. Will that be okay? ;D |

Brian...
I got my tubes, and they are the exact same tubes as you get elsewhere, minus the liner.
I have tied loads on them over the last few days, I have used veniards tube liner for them.
Great value tubes.

You won't be able to touch them with anything that will cut them.
From what I have been told the tungsten tubes have to be laser cut and drilled, as they are too hard for anything else.

Interesting product, and another for which I've seen zero reference on my side of the Pond. Had to move away from using tubes as the things (unless you did a lead wire overwrap) were just too light (save of off the end of a sink tip) for fishing here on the Rogue River (Southern Oregon).
"Our Fish" (Steelhead and Pacific Salmon) all tend to be bottom huggers so it's 'deep, down and dirty' or you're usually wasting your time. These tubes, being more than twice the weight of brass (the heaviest we can usually access) might just be the ticket to that little problem.
Will have to do a 'Google' and see if/where they're available on my side of the Pond.
