Tubes & Aligners

Tubes & Aligners: perfection down to the tip of your rig

A good carp rig stands or falls with the right finishing. Tubes and aligners are indispensable in this. They not only provide protection for your line and a neat presentation, but above all improve the hooking of your hook – and you can immediately see that reflected in the number of carp caught. Whether you choose rig tube, shrink tube or a ready-made line aligner: every carp angler should have this in their tackle box.

Rig tube: protection and camouflage of your main line

The rig tube, also called silicone tube, is slid over the main line and on top of your lead clip or swivel. This flexible rubber tube protects the line from damage caused by branches, stones or mussels and prevents the line from rubbing against the carp's body. This makes your rig safer and less noticeable underwater. Ideal for obstacle-rich spots or waters with lots of weed or plants. Rig tubes are available in different colors and lengths, perfectly adjustable to the bottom.

Shrink tube: moldable hook extension for better hooking

Shrink tube, also known as heat shrink tubing, is used to extend the hook shank and bend it at an optimal angle. After heating with steam or hot water, the tube shrinks and retains its shape. This ensures that the hook turns faster and grips firmly in the lower lip. Shrink tube is ideal for making line aligners or kicker rigs, and combines perfectly with Curve, Claw or Longshank hooks. Available in camouflage colors such as weed, gravel and silt.

Line aligners: ready to use immediately

Line aligners are pre-formed variants of shrink tube, specially developed for the best hooking. They extend the hook shank and aggressively guide the hook to the carp's lower lip. Because they are already pre-formed, you don’t have to cut or bend anything – ideal for those who want to build rigs quickly and efficiently. There are also short variants, such as line adaptors, which provide extra grip for long hook shanks and hard mouths. An excellent choice for those fishing with longshank hooks or in deeper water.
