What size shrink tube do I need to use to replace a hook on a dbl showgirl?

I used 1/4" on my double showgirls. Most probably use bigger but I like the tighter fit of the 1/4". On tails with #7 split rings use 5/16". I buy the rolls of shrink tubing, which run $3 to $6 depending on where you buy them from.

I use 3/8. Go on ebay to purchase. You can buy big rolls for around 5 dollars vs fleet where its a lot more.

Moore's Lures sells a couple sizes at a very nice price. I usually try to stock up on pre-cut wire, hooks, and shrink tube all at once...

David,
you can find the shrink tube in the electrical supply stores too.

I bought mine on eBay the bigger size in a big roll. I use a drop of vegetable oil inside the shrink wrap to get it easily over the split ring.

Thanks again guys. I bought a small pack a couple weeks back from Lowes but didn't get the right size. I will also try the veg. oil trick too. I have some on order.

Gives new meaning of frying them on.
