Doug,
Check this guy out:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-16-x-25-Clear-Vinyl-Tubing-for-Fishing-Lure-Treble-Hook-Cover-Protector-/280837924503?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41633ea697

He recommends vinyl tubes size 1/8 for large &  size 3/16 for extra large trebles.

Just be aware that depending on the make up of the tubing and type of paint/clear coat on the lures vinly tubing can burn the paint similar to "worm burn" .

I have switched to cutting off the ends of qtips and using them.

Go to menards and buy screen spline. Get the biggest diameter, works great.
