What is the best method to heat the shrink tube onto the hook? The directions only say heat until tight? Will a lighter be enough heat?
Figured I'd ask before making a mistake.
Thanks

I use a lighter or a heat gun depending on how much I'm tying.

Also, if you want to save some money, regular 3/8 shrink tube from Home Depot works. I buy mine bulk on 100' rolls for like $25.

I like to use a heat gun but a lighter will work. You can get 15 foot rolls of heat shrink tubing at Harbor Freight for about $4.
