Tallbald Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I've seen clear plastic tubing sections pushed down over the hook and barb to prevent injury and damage. I've tried several different wording combinations on search features of online lure part retailers but results come up blank. Are folks snipping these from a piece of tubing themselves or is there a product name I'm missing? Thanks. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don I can't swear to what others are doing, but would think you could buy clear plastic tubing very cheaply and just cut it to whatever length you deem necessary.

Nathan Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 Isn 't that stuff just aquarium tubing?..Nathan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobP Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I think BassPro sells something called a hook bonnet, made from plastic that fits over the whole treble hook. I've bought swimbaits that come with integral hooks covered by plastic tubing. It's a pain in the butt to remove the tubing before fishing them, and that's just single hooks.

dpalinsk Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I looked all over locally and finally bought some plastic fuel line from a hobby shop. Was inexpensive and works great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasilofchrisn Posted October 31, 2013 Report Share Posted October 31, 2013 I buy the cheap aquarium tubing from Walmart. It is in the pet section. Cut to length and put it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
