Collection: Carp shrink tube


Carp Shrink Tube for Advanced Rig Mechanics

At CB Carp Tackle, our carp shrink tube is designed to improve hook mechanics and increase hooking efficiency in modern carp rigs. By creating a more aggressive angle at the hook eye, shrink tubing helps the hook flip faster and take hold securely when a carp picks up your bait.

Available in medium (1.6mm diameter) and large (2.0mm diameter) sizes, and in natural green or brown, our shrink tube gives you flexibility to match your hook pattern and lakebed conditions. 

Medium Shrink Tube – 1.6mm Diameter

Our 1.6mm shrink tube is ideal for smaller hook sizes and refined presentations. It fits neatly over most size 6 and 8 carp hooks, allowing you to create a subtle kicker effect without overpowering the rig.

Perfect for:

  • Blowback rigs
  • D rigs
  • Spinner rigs
  • Wafter and bottom bait setups

Large Shrink Tube – 2.0mm Diameter

The 2.0mm shrink tube is designed for larger hooks, such as size 4 patterns, or when you want a more aggressive angle to enhance hook rotation.

Ideal for: 

  • Bigger hook patterns
  • Aggressive bottom bait rigs
  • Pop-up presentations
  • Long-range fishing setups

Available in Green & Brown

Both sizes are available in:

  • Green
  • Brown

These natural colours help your rig blend seamlessly into gravel, silt and light weed, keeping your presentation subtle on pressured venues.
