I am looking for a source for the small diameter flexible tubing thats on the Northland Whistler jigs. I have tried all kinds but am not having much luck. Any ideas?

I have had good luck using shrink tubing for this application and other similar tackle tinkering jobs. It comes as a larger diameter plastic tube that you apply heat with a butane lighter etc.and it shrinks about 50% of its diameter . Most electrical hardware shops have it in various diameters and a few colors. Good luck, No Fish

Use heat shrink tubing. I used it on whistler jigs when I change colors (I like red). I cut off the tubing and remove the blade and bead, heat and dip in powder paint, then reasemble using heat shrink. You can get it at any Radio Shack or hardware store in the electrical dept.
