I am looking for a bulk spool of silicone tubing similar to the G7 worm protect tubes sold under the G7 label. I have provided the specs below. I am looking for the 7mm tubing
ID OD wall thickness 4mm 0.16in 0.20in 0.02in 5mm 0.20in 0.26in 0.03in 6mm 0.24in 0.30in 0.03in [b]7mm 0.28in 0.33in 0.03in 8mm 0.31in 0.43in 0.06in 9mm 0.35in 0.41in 0.03in 10mm 0.39in 0.45in 0.03in
I haven't found anything online. Any help is appreciated.
I use o-rings and heat shrink. I am looking to go in a different direction.

coldandcolder.com sells a variety of sizes by the foot. Works great and cheap, too. Way stronger than o-rings or heat shrink.

3/8 i.d. x 1/2 o.d. is the most comfortable fit, but it's a little loose. I prefer 1/4 i.d. x 3/8 o.d. for versatility since it works with skinnier baits, too. You have to stretch your 5 inch senko as your sliding on the tube and gradually work it to the middle. It's a very snug fit and sits flush with the senko, so less obvious. Tube section only needs to be 1/4 to 1/3 inch wide. Run your hook about an 1/8 of an inch through the tube, not through the senko. That way you can easily change baits if you want a different color or if you want to downsize to a smaller or skinnier bait.

Arsenal is $6.99 for 50 in one size plus shipping, so over $10. TW reviews say it's thin and tears easily. You can get 4 feet in 4 different sizes from coldandcolder.com for about $10 shipped and have every senko from 6 to 3 inches covered. You can rig at least 36 hooks with a foot of tubing and it's thick medical grade that will not tear off the hook. Start at 3/8i.d. x 1/2o.d. for 6 inch senkos and the next 3 smaller sizes for all the rest.

Ok so I bought a 6' length of 3/8 clear silicone tubing....it is slightly thicker than the G7 material. It looks like it will do the trick. Anyone can pm me for details.
