cavu Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Anyone have an enexpensive source for clear plastic tubes (1/2" to 1"). I make a lot of trolling heads with mylar skirt, some with reverseskirts and tubes would be a great way to store them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WidowMaker Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Would Cigar Tubes Work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavu Posted August 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 I guess I should have been more specific. The trolling heads with skirts that I make would take at least a tube 1/2' in diameter, maybe 5/8 to 3/4". Length including mylar skirt would be from 8 to 12 ".

cavu Posted August 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 Thanks for the idea Cheeshead, but it will need to be clear and thin walled. Thanks BS Tackle, I will look into those sites. I did request, from a manufacturer, a sample of a thin wall tube they produce. If and when it arrives, I will inform everyone on it's cost and usefullness.

woodsac Posted August 4, 2004 Report Share Posted August 4, 2004 I've seen the kind of tubes you're talking about at Home Depot. They are in the hardware section. Fairly expensive though at a couple dollars each. If you only need a couple for personal use that would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
