Heat Shrink Tube |
|||||||||||||||||
|
Heat shrink tube provides a very neat secure finish to Mackerel or Pollack feather hooks. It's ideal for use with larger hooks, or when using very heavy monofilament, when using PVC can be very hard going. Simply position the tube, and apply steam or hot water. The 5.5mm tube, will shrink down by to 2.5mm, and fit snuggly around wider diameters. When using with monofilament, always apply heat to shrink the tube via boiling water or steam. Avoid naked flames or heat guns that can cause damage to the monofilament. PRICES
