Full details

The Korum Classic River Float Silicone Tubing is an essential component for coarse and river anglers looking to secure their floats effectively to their main line. Designed for versatility and durability, this kit includes a comprehensive range of diameters to accommodate various float stem sizes, offering a secure grip that prevents slippage during casting and retrieval. While the black color offers a discreet look, users should ensure they select the correct diameter for their specific float stem to avoid potential line damage or premature wear.

FAQs

Can this tubing be used with braid main lines?

Yes, the silicone is gentle and will grip well on both monofilament and braided main lines.

Does the set include all six sizes?

Yes, the Korum set includes 1mm, 2mm, 4mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm sizes.

Are the lengths reusable?

While durable, the silicone is designed to be cut to your preferred size; it is best to replace them if they lose their elasticity.

Will the black color fade in sunlight?

The silicone is UV-resistant, but long-term exposure to harsh sun may cause slight dulling over several seasons.

How many pieces are in each size?

The kit provides a balance of lengths designed to cover multiple fishing sessions and various float configurations.

Troubleshooting

Tubing slides down the line during casting

The diameter selected is too large for the float stem; switch to the next size down.

Tubing is difficult to slide onto the float stem

Moisten the float stem with a drop of water or saliva to reduce friction before assembly.

Tubing has cracked or split

This is a sign of material aging or over-stretching; discard and replace with a fresh 70mm piece.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive size range in one package
  • High-grade silicone resists brittleness over time
  • Pre-cut lengths allow for quick rigging
  • Discreet black color is ideal for clear water conditions
  • Compatible with a wide variety of float types

Cons

  • Not suitable for extremely thick wire stems
  • Requires careful storage to prevent loss of smaller sizes
  • May become stiff in extreme sub-zero temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, slide the tubing onto your main line before attaching your hook link. Feed the stem of your float through the tubing segments to secure it in place. For maximum longevity, avoid stretching the silicone excessively when fitting it over oversized stems, as this can lead to tears. Rinse the tubing with fresh water after each session to remove silt and algae, especially after use in brackish or silty river water. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the material from degrading or becoming sticky.
