What is a tubing used for?

Tubing is anti-tangle or hooklength tube on feeder and bottom rigs, especially carp. It kicks the hooklength away from the lead.

How is a tubing different from similar gear?

Feeder fishing and bottom fishing. Not a crimp. Soft silicone or similar, not a metal sleeve.

When should you use a tubing?

Use it on hair, helicopter, and running-lead carp kits, and any feeder rig that wraps around the bomb.

What problems does a tubing solve?

It reduces tangles on the cast and can add a bit of rigidity so the bait sits away from the weight.
