FAQs

Will this silicone damage my fishing line?
No, the silicone is specifically designed to be soft enough to avoid any line damage, even with fine lines.
How does the thinness of the silicone improve rig presentation?
The thin profile reduces drag and creates a more natural appearance for your rig in the water, potentially attracting more bites.

Yes, it is compatible with most materials, including fine wire, carbon, and thick fiberglass lines.
How should I clean and store the silicone?
Clean with a damp cloth and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain its quality.
Is this product suitable for beginners?
Yes, its ease of use makes it suitable for anglers of all experience levels looking to improve rig presentation.
Troubleshooting
Silicone slips on the line
Ensure you are using the appropriate size silicone for your line diameter. For very fine lines, a smaller diameter silicone (e.g., 0.6mm) is recommended. Make sure the line is dry when initially fitting.
Difficulty threading line through silicone
Use a fine needle or a specialized line threader if needed. Moisten the line slightly to help it slide through. The silicone's thinness is intentional for presentation; gentle persistence is key.
Silicone appears less flexible after use
Ensure the silicone has been stored correctly, away from direct heat and sunlight. Clean it gently with a damp cloth. If stiffness persists, it may indicate prolonged exposure to adverse conditions.
