douG Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 Sure. Look in the plumbing section. A Home Depot might be a better place. A Staples store would have some rubber elastic bands that would work too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeh Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 (edited) bass pro shops has them fairly cheap (10 cents each)as do most fishing stores. canadian tire sells them for about 80 cents each, in the plumbing section.

cranks bait Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 My brother in law got the kit from BPS. A handy tube to roll them onto the Senko. I thought about making my own as I have several scrap tubes that size. The o-ring can be purchased at any hard ware store easily enough. Then I noticed that his didn't really last that much longer than mine, and I always had my lure in the water first. Needless to say, I haven't gotten around to doing it yet and probably won't. Altough it is a pretty slick set up. The other thing that gets me is all those rubber donounts (mmmm donouts) floting around when they do break off.

Greencoachdog Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 (edited) Try a small piece of heat shrink tubing! I buy the 3/8" diameter that shrinks to 3/16". Cut a small piece about 1/4" wide, slip it over your worm and heat with a Bic lighter for a tight durable fit! You'll find it in the electrical section of Home Depot.

JohnF Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 i want to try wacky rigging senkos, ive seen them done with little o-rings, i was wondering where id be likely to find some the right size, crappy tire maybe? I tried the local CTC. Some nice guy behind the parts counter gave me (yup, gave) all he had (6) in the approximate sizes I needed. He suggested the plumbing dept but there was nothing there. The rings have to be a fairly tight fit or the fish will pull the worm out. I'm gonna try a supply shop that has all kinds of pneumatic and hydraulic fittings. They might have a better selection. Or if you know a place that stocks small engine carb parts they might have some. Look for something under a 1/4", 3/16" something like that with some stretch to it. Some don't have enough give and will just break if you try to stretch them. JF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bassjnkie Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 The kit at Bass pro is $5.99 included ring and slider tube, don't remember what the extra rings cost, or got to ebay for the exra rings, dime a dozen. The ones at ctc have a funky rubber smell to them, and they don't fit right. Hope this helps, Daniel OCH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cudz Posted August 1, 2008 Report Share Posted August 1, 2008 you can also use surgical tubing. cut it into small pieces and use needlenose pliers to stretch the tubing over the bait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
