Product Information
Full details
The Gardner Lo-Bore Tube Threader is an essential tool for carp anglers who frequently use anti-tangle tubing to manage their rigs. Designed specifically for tubes with fine internal diameters, such as the 0.8mm Covert Tungsten Rig Tubing, this tool simplifies the often frustrating process of threading mainline through narrow tubing. While it is highly efficient and durable, users should exercise care when handling the fine stainless steel wire to avoid kinking the material during storage or transport.

FAQs
Can this be used with standard rig tubing?
Yes, while designed for low-bore tubes, it is fully compatible with standard anti-tangle tubing.
Is the wire flexible enough for sharp turns?
The wire is flexible enough for standard rig setups, but it is designed for stiffness to aid in pushing through the tube.
How do I prevent the line from slipping out of the eye?
Ensure you have a sufficient tag end of your mainline through the eye before pulling; if the line is very thin, double it over before threading.
What is the internal diameter limit for this tool?
It is specifically tested to work with diameters as fine as 0.8mm.
Will this rust if left wet?
The threader is made from stainless steel, which is highly resistant to rust, though drying it is recommended.
Troubleshooting
The threader will not pass through the tube.
Ensure the tube is not kinked or obstructed by debris; if it persists, use a small amount of water or lubricant on the threader wire.
The wire has developed a kink or bend.
Gently straighten the wire by running it between your thumb and forefinger; avoid sharp bends which may weaken the stainless material.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Extremely durable stainless steel construction
- Works perfectly with tight 0.8mm internal diameter tubes
- Twisted wire design improves tactile grip
- Versatile for use across various tubing types
Cons
- Fine wire can be prone to bending if stored improperly
- Requires manual dexterity to thread the mainline eye
- Not intended for heavy-duty wire tasks outside of rigging
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your threader, avoid forcing the wire through extremely tight or blocked tubing, as this may cause the stainless steel to deform. When not in use, store the threader in a protective tube or a flat tackle wallet to prevent the wire from becoming kinked or bent. Because it is made of stainless steel, it is naturally resistant to corrosion, but it is good practice to wipe it clean and dry it off after exposure to water or lake silt to maintain the integrity of the wire surface.
