- Dark Matter Super-Heavy Tungsten Rig Tube adds near-weightless bulk with heavy density so you can fine-tune lie and presentation while staying stealthy on pressured waters.
Overview: The Dark Matter Super-Heavy Tungsten Rig Tube is a dense, short-run tubing designed to add mass without bulk to your rig. Unlike lead-based tubes, this tungsten tubing packs more weight into less material. This lets you move ballast lower down the rig or add small, discreet weight collars that reduce rig float and help keep hooklinks tidy on the bed. The 2m length gives you enough material for multiple rigs and long sessions. The Dark Matter finish is matt and non-reflective to help keep the tube visually discreet when fished over clear or pressured water.
Why this tube helps:
- Tungsten’s high density means less volume for the same weight.
- Low bulk is perfect for mouth or bed-hidden ballast.
- Dark finish blends with gravel, silt and weed.
- Tubing helps keep hooklinks aligned and prevents tangles.
- Use in small amounts to adjust lie and presentation precisely.
Design and features:
- 2m roll of super-heavy tungsten-infused tubing.
- Dark matter matt finish to reduce shine and glare.
- Just the right inner diameter to slide over hooklinks and small tubing.
- Flexible yet firm enough to hold shape when molded.
- Easy to cut with scissors for quick use.
How to use:
- Cut short lengths to form collars or micro weight collars.
- Slide over hooklink tubing to keep the leader sitting low.
- Use near the hook knot or on tail sections to alter lie.
- Pinch or shape slightly to get the balance you require.
- Use with putty or small tungsten beads for fine adjustment.
Baiting and rig uses:
- Fine balance of pop-ups where small weight changes make a difference.
- Lowering the leader for better hook presentation on slick gravel.
- Hidden ballast to keep rigs sitting correctly in the mouth.
- Use on anti-tangle sleeves to maintain alignment and lie.
Practical tips:
- Try micro adjustments in small grams to see the effect.
- Combine with Dark Matter putty for precise trimming of balance.
- Keep lengths short when using near knots so they do not slip.
- Use a small dab of glue if you need a permanent position on the link.
Care and storage:
- Rinse if exposed to sticky bait or heavy slurry.
- Dry and store in a plastic tube or compartment to avoid tangling.
- Avoid sharp bends that could creak or split the tube.
- Replace if the surface degrades after long exposure to acids or strong solvents.
Who it is for:
- Anglers needing precise control over rig lie and presentation.
- Those fishing pressured venues where small visual advantages matter.
- Rig builders who like micro-adjustment tools in their kit.
- Anyone using pop-ups or delicate, balanced baits.
Why choose Dark Matter tungsten tubing:
- High density in a discreet package.
- Small tweaks change presentation without visible bulk.
- Durable and easy to use on the bank.
- Non-reflective to reduce spook on clear or pressured waters.
