Hey all, I am looking to find some Pipe insulation for my side-drifting rigs. I cant seem to find any of the thick stuff..not really looking to use kids noodles either.Let me know if you got any info?

The kids Noodles Work Good, why don't you like to use them?

Okie,
Go to home depot or lowes and bug an employee. It will probably be in the piping section, but asking someone will be a your best bet. But hey, lookin around home depot is always fun! Its very cheap as well. 6 foot tubes are less than 2 bucks. They have it in various sizes as well. has a slit down the tube, which sticks together if you want to put it on a roller. Hope this helps

Go to a any local plumbing shop (not lowes/depot) and tell them you are looking for 1/2" pipe insulation with 1" wall thickness (preferably with no split in them). If they don't have it they can order it for you and being that they are 6' long 2 of them will make you 12 leader rolls.

If its for your fishing vest, I say get a pips box.

Plumbing company should have them, is only place I can find them here. Somewhere I saw some 1, 1.5 and 2 inch solid foam tubes for insulating around windows but have never found a source for it.

If it's for your fishing vest, get these...........

Anything that is exposed always seems to come unravled for me at one point and gets stuck in my zippers.

I'd be very careful about whipping out your Johnson to take a leak while fishing, then

Fish on...

Don't get me started on trying to take a piss while wearing waders. Or another under-discussed topic- having to take a crap when you get to the river in the morning.

I always look for the hot pink noodles...they work the best...plus I never have buddies yank my noodles

Go to Mclendon's, that's where I find mine....

Hope that helps.

i'm thinking nick wants them for the leader dispencer rolls rather for use in a vest.

Ace Hardware stores, Dennis Company, Home Depot, Lowe's.....Just ask...most have different sizes.....I actual prefer the bigger diameter, for in the boat, easier to wrap the leader around....

I tie my leaders with snap swivel already on.....push the snap swivel into the "crack", wrap leader....with corkie and hook around the foam...stick hook into the foam.

When you break off..... just grab the hook....pull....snap on...ready to go.....

Now if you break off everything...thats a different story.....

Kid noodles @ the $1.00 store with multi colors:

Blue is for cut plug salmon leaders
Pink is for steelhead
Good luck,

Forgive my ignorance - but what is Kid Noodle?

I've tried searching the net, but am only coming up with recipes for noodle dishes for kids.

It's the pool noodles kids use to help learn to swim with... or hit each other...
