Al, I would think you could try automotive door/window trim. I'm sure AutoZone, Pep Boys, Napa or someplace like that would have something similar to what was OEM. You could also try surgical tubing. It comes in different diameters and definitely be squishee enough.

Put me in line behind smowho. I just fried mine this Saturday.

There are a ton of video's out there.
General, My setup is as follows;
6-10lb main. On the main line, put on one of the little red weight sliders (Sorry, I don't know what the name of them is). On the slider I use 1, 2 or 3oz torpedo's or ball weights.
Then tie on a bead/chain swivel to the main line. This is important to keep the line from twisting. From the Chain swivel add about 3-4' 6lb leader. Tie on a 4" dodger. Tie on your lure about 6-8" from dodger. Troll at 1.2 to 1.8mph depending on what the Kokes want.

Tackle- Underlined are my go to's.

 Dodgers- 4" in several color combos, Chrome/Pink, Chrome/Watermelon and Brass/Orange. Sometimes the Kokes can be skittish so that's when the Brass/Orange is used.

 Lures- Paulina Peak Micro Hootchies with double hooks in Hot Pink. Wedding Rings, Spin-n-Glows, Apex's, Brads kokanee Killers.

Bait- Shoe peg or White caned corn. I make 3 different batches. You don't need the expensive cures or scents they sell at the tackle stores!

1-put the drained corn on a paper towel and pat dry
2-place 1/3rd of corn in a zip-lock bag, 3 bags total.
Do not use iodized salt!
3- Bag 1, Add 2 teaspoons of Kosher Salt and 1 spoon full of minced garlic.  Done.
    Bag 2, add 2 teaspoons Kosher salt and 2 teaspoons Table sugar. Done.
    Bag 3, add 2 Teaspoons Kosher salt and add 6 drops of Anise extract. (You can find this in the baking section with the Vanilla and other flavors). Done
4- Close bags and mix.

That's it! Time to go fishing.

Feel free to ask any questions you have.

I'll take it. That's the perfect floatie for my neighbors pool and bratty kid!

I'm in need of a gaff. I'm in Sac as well. PM me your contact info please.

Yeah, me too, never launched out of Emerald. It will probably be a zoo getting out of there so I’m good with Dark Day. I expect to be there between 6 & 6:30.

Stampede res. is out due to bad weather. Bullards looks good Monday morning. I'll be there at 6:30am. I usually launch at Dark Day but may try at Emerald Cove marina by the dam. Looks like the fishing is good at the Dam and houseboats. Gold Toyota Sequoia trailering a fire camo Feelfree Moken.
