1035.0. "Latex Tubing?" by LEVERS::SWEET (Capt. Codfish...GW Fishing Team) Fri Mar 17 1989 09:03

    Does anyone know where I can buy 5/16 Latex tubing for making
    teasers? I am looking for blue, red and flourecent orange.
    Sold by the foot or yard is preferable to large bulk spools.

    Bruce-
    Try (of course) Midland Tackle. I rmember seeing tubing and the
    bent hooks in the catalog.
    You might also try Bogans Brielle Tackle, 800 Ashley Ave., Brielle, NJ
    They used to publish a catalog for mail order, not sure if they
    still do.
    
    OR...you can buy surgical (surge) tubing at a medical supply house,
    and dye it yourself with fabric dye. (Medical grade tubing is 'natural'
    in color).

1035.2No blue at midland...LEVERS::SWEETCapt. Codfish...GW Fishing TeamMon Mar 20 1989 09:025
    Midland does not carry blue. Blue is tops on the list. I will just
    continue to hunt around.

1035.3Why Blue?SOLKIM::HORWITZBeach BagelMon Mar 20 1989 11:1620
    Ok, my curiosity is peaked:
    
    	What's so special about blue????
    
    Down here the predominant colors seem to be reds, greens, white
    and black.
    
    What do you catch on the blue? Cod? Pollack?
    
    I don't recall seeing blue, either as tubing or rigged.
    You may have to get some neutral and dye it yourself.

1035.4Trade secretsLEVERS::SWEETCapt. Codfish...GW Fishing TeamMon Mar 20 1989 13:349
    Now Bagel you are asking for Capt. Codfish's trade secrets....I 
    have found that the Zing products blue teaser rigs take a lot of 
    cod, more than other colors. i used to fish with red and flourscent 
    orange but someone said try blue and it has worked real well.
    
    Now the secret is out, the tackle store shelves will be bare in
    no time.
     
    Capt. Codfish (who won't dare mention the 'wooly booly' teaser)
1035.5who???PACKER::GIBSONMon Mar 20 1989 13:4410
    No Bruce.
    NOT THE WOOLY BOOLY!
    
    Do you mean those "things" I made last year to simulate hoola dancing
    girls on the cod jig?   They are called Baggy wrinkles teasers,
    But I like wooly booly. Kinda catchy name.

    Discussing worms the other week with a co-worker, he mentioned that
    blue is the most visible color deep underwater.  If he's right,
    that could be the reason for your success.  RE:tubing, I picked
    it up in semi-bulk at the Worcester and Springfield outdoors shows.
    I don't recall whether there was blue or the name of the vendor...lotta
    help I am!
