Any suggestions on a good scource for that sort of tubing?

A hobby shop or scientific supply store should have various sizes.

Thanks for the tip. After posting, I did a bit of googling and
found another source: Dive shops. They've got latex tubing of various
diameters.

What kind of cord does your use?

Braided cord, like a bootlace. I've made them out of 100# mono too
with no safety release, but I only used them on the sal****er flats -
wouldn't be a good idea crawling through brush. g

Yeah, I tend to fish in mostly open areas here, but don't have any
desire to garrotte (sp?) myself. I was reading the FAOL site and saw
their suggestion of using a braided plastic craft lace, so I grabbed
some of that and gave it a try yesterday. The end result is kind of
nice; it's pretty thick, but it's got enough spring to it that I think
it should work.

I had used weedwacker line on my first try, and I like the way it
lies, but I *really* need a safety release for that stuff. :-)
