bassrecord Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 Still looking for really big rubber strips to make big legs. Living Rubber stopped selling 1/16" but they will if I buy 1000 pounds (gasp!) choke. nope! What I'm looking for can be round or square. I'm looking for 1/16" (.0625 about 2mm), 3/32" (.09375 about 3mm) and 1/8" (.125 about 4mm). Anybody know where I can get white, black and chartreuse? I only need a few pounds at a time. Thanks for any ideas! John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassrecord Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 Round is lightest and square is a close second but rectangular shape like rubber bands and bungee cords cut from reclaimed bicycle tires have too much weight and are too heavy when casting. Latex rubber is usually just fine. Also I need a Shore A Flexibility rating range from 30 to 40 also. Rubber bands have a Shore A rating in the 40-50's and bicycle tires in the 60-70's. Thanks but I'll keep on looking. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rugbyfisherman Posted August 3, 2010 Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 Check out fly tyers dungeon. He makes all his own stuff. He has lots of rubber legs in big sizes, if he doesn't have the size he could probably make it for you.
