^{Doug,
Check this guy out:}

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.
