Product Information
Full details
Designed specifically for dedicated carp anglers, Fox Edges Tuff Tungsten Tubing is an essential terminal tackle component that provides superior protection and presentation for helicopter-style rigs. Its primary benefit lies in its heavy, dense construction that sits flush against the lakebed while resisting damage from abrasive structures and crayfish, though users should note that the increased density requires careful handling during rig construction compared to standard, lighter tubing.

FAQs
Is this tubing suitable for leadcore setups?
This tubing is designed as a standalone alternative to leadcore, serving as a safer, more abrasion-resistant option for the final few feet of your main line.
Can I use this with any lead clip?
Yes, it is compatible with most standard lead clips, though it works most effectively with the Fox Edges range of terminal tackle.
Why is it better than standard plastic tubing?
The Tuff Tungsten version is denser, meaning it sinks faster and stays on the bottom, and the material composition is much harder, providing better protection against crayfish and underwater obstacles.
Does the color fade over time?
The coloration is integrated into the material and is highly durable, though natural wear from lakebed silt is normal over long periods of use.
How long should my tubing section be?
A standard length of 1 to 1.5 meters is usually sufficient to ensure the main line stays pinned to the lakebed near your hookbait.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty threading main line through the tubing
Ensure the tubing is straight and use a high-quality, thin wire splicing needle to pull the line through.
Tubing remains curved after storage
Gently stretch the tubing and warm it between your fingers, or submerge it in warm (not boiling) water for a few seconds to soften and straighten.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Superior abrasion resistance compared to standard tubing
- High density ensures the rig lies flat on the bottom
- Significantly higher resilience against crayfish attacks
- Excellent for helicopter rig presentations
- Subtle, camouflaged coloration
Cons
- Stiffer material can be more challenging to thread
- Heavier weight might affect casting distance on very light setups
- Limited color range compared to standard tubing
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your rig, feed your main line through the tubing using a splicing needle or by wetting the line to reduce friction. Ensure the tubing is cut to an appropriate length to keep your main line pinned well away from the rig area. Compatibility is broad across most standard lead clips and helicopter rig components. For maintenance, periodically inspect the ends for fraying after heavy sessions. Because of the density of the material, avoid sharp kinking; if the tubing becomes bent, gently warm it in your hands to straighten it out before storage.
