olitay Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 Very nice indeed. Well done on the tubes Gary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagoon Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Interesting. Pardon my ignorance - are they to keep slimies alive while they are hooked up? I have that problem with yakkas and just put them back hooked in the livie tank. Somehow they manage to not tangle up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewhunter Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Looks terrific mate! I'm sure the finished product will serve you well. Great to see Gary brickman doing his usual quality work. Cheers, Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g.t. Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 The tubes look great, but it looks like you have a similar condition trailer to mine! I wonder what it'd cost for Gary to knock up a stainless trailer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wantingaboat Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 How good is that tinny. Those tubes look the goods. I saw them in brickmans factory when i was out there last time. I dont suppose he had finished the SS rod holders that he was making? Cheers. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evets Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Seagoon, Yes, the tubes are to keep the slimeys alive while hooked up. The tubes are designed for a slimey to be caught, rigged up and then placed head down into the tube. A water pump is attached to the bottom and pumps water into the tube through the slimeys mouth and out over the top to keep the slimey alive. Once you are ready to use the slimey you simply pull it out of the tube (remembering you have already rigged it up) and feed it out. Used quite lot in switch baiting and when cubing for YFT Evets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reel_success Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 i ve never heard of these slimy tubes before, but as explained by Evets the seem quiet effective in keeping a bait alive and looking good for YFT and other fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fisherman1994 Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Hi dogtooth, They look great but would you be able to tell me what the slimey tubes are actually used for and how they work?? I'm intrigued Cheers, JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
