Description

This Shrink Tube can be used to finish off rigs and increase their hooking potential by curving the hook link inwards, thus helping the hook to flip over once in the carp’s mouth. There are number of rigs which utilise Shrink Tube, with the line aligner being one of the most common. It is stiff enough that it will maintain its shape, but once a fish is hooked it will straighten so that no damage is done – unlike with an actual bent hook. Our shrink tube comes in various sizes and colours: An extremely versatile end tackle component which can be used with any hook size and match to any lake bed you are fishing over. Each pack contains eight 55mm lengths.

Field Notes

Use shrink tube on carp hook links to curve the line inwards and improve hooking potential. It’s stiff enough to hold its shape during casting and presentation, then straightens when the fish is hooked to reduce damage compared with a permanently bent hook.

Pros

  • Improves hooking potential by aligning/curving the hook link
  • Stiff enough to maintain shape until the fish is hooked
  • Straightens on hook-up to help reduce damage versus a bent hook
  • Works with any hook size and can be color-matched to the lakebed

Cons

  • Requires rig-building/heat-shrinking to fit correctly
  • Not a complete rig on its own
