A versatile product that can be used for all kinds of jobs within rig making. Shrink tube will “shrink” in place as heat is applied. This makes it ideal for protecting knots so that they become more streamlined and less prone to catching weed. The stiffness of the material when shrunk makes it suitable for creating small, standoff booms to give extra separation of hook snoods from the rig body. It’s also used for making pennel rigs, securing the top hook of the pennel to the rig body. Care should be taken not to damage the line when heating, shrinking in hot water will help minimise this as opposed to using steam or a lighter, for example.
