How's it goin? Trying to find right tube size for 062. The other lures I have to compare have 1/8 brass
But a thinner wall than .014. K&s metals brass tubes are .014. All I've found is .014 k&s said I can order thinner wall if I get a $100 worth. Should I do that or just go up too 5/32? Is 5/32 too sloppy or could that be better for making a little more noise?

I use the 1/8 K&S tube for .062 wire. Are you having a weight sensitivity issue?

Thanks no weight issue yet. Was just thinking it would be a too tight of fit if my brass tube wall was a little thicker. I'm trying to kinda Make a oversized fin with combinations of pacemaker curl and flat like psycho sister with a sharp bend in one side. Trying to get em to spin slow. Got a coupe to work good just didn't know if bigger tube would help with spinning when ya first start reeling it in. Some sounded awesome but kinda had to jerk to get goin. But after this wknd practicing with the different fins just seems like getting the right pitch is the trick.
