My main choice now..
Just prefer it over the esp version which I thought could never be beaten
|

ESP tungsten loaded tubing I think is the heaviest I've seen. Rigmarole is great, less supple maybe. And Korda nano is lighter than the ESP stuff I think.
ESP for me.

Same as, I prefer the colours of the ‘normal’ tubing

Slightly off topic.
I stopped using tungsten tubing about six years ago and went back to the old Nash No Spook tubing and didn't notice any difference in catch rate at all.

I flit between the Korda stuff and the Nash Cling-On Tungsten tubing, which I actually really like.
Not always the easiest to thread, but for me it works well for what I need it for.
Not tried the highly regarded Rigmarole stuff, but this does seem to be the 'go to' for many.

I used to use ESP, then Korda DM and now Rigmarole. I wouldn't say Rigmarole is overly supple though. One of the limpest I used for a while was Berkley believe it or not but it wasn't as heavy, a very soft contour hugging tube. It might have changed now though, that was near a decade ago, might not even be made anymore

+1 for Rigmarole when tubing is the only choice - v easy to thread even in the narrow bore and v heavy; also looks more like leadcore and the braided outer can take on mud/detrius which is a poss camo advantage . . .

Second this, the nano is brilliant stuff
|

MCF Hugger Tubing was the best for suppleness when I was looking for a new tubing after the Rigmarole tubing was banned on some of my lakes.
I just use the Grey version.

The Korda nano is fantastic. I never got on with the normal korda stuff, I've tried it all being on a lake with tubing only. And I couldn't recommend it enough

The Korda Dark Matter is heavy and supple.

Oh right, you mean supple, not subtle. Yes is very supple

The HLS stuff is really heavy and really supple. It's also pretty cheap. The only downside is that all 3 colours are pretty dark, but if you can live with that, then use it with confidence.

No I mean subtle as in it bends over contors etc more making it subtle
“ fine or delicate in meaning or intent; difficult to perceive or understand “….

Because it sinks down onto the lake bed better, hiding it. Making it subtle/not stand out

Does it, how does it weighing more make it more subtle ???…..and the braid doesn’t make it stand out ??
|

Imo it's the weight that makes them subtle. The rigmarole freefall is what I use, it's braided ,quite thick, but sinks like a brick which is what helps hide it

As the title suggests, what’s everyone’s opinions on the best rig tubing out there, ideally the heaviest and most subtle ??
The reason I ask is I have tried most but now have bags of the stuff randomly and obviously nothing labelled lol…
now I’m sure I didn’t get on with the Korda heavy stuff or the ridgemonkey ones… I’m pretty sure the one I thought was a amazing and subtle was the ESP one years ago or maybe Nash ( noticeable difference)….
but like I say now have random lengths of mixed tubings and for the life of me can’t recall..
Subtleness is probably more important to me than the weight as they all work well and obviously are ‘heavy’ , so that’s much the same selling point for all companies ….
Any thoughts appreciated once again
