Green Lumo Tubing Longlines, Hapuka or Surfcasting Traces

Make your own longlines, hapuka traces, or surfcasting rigs with Green Lumo Tubing — a luminous tubing designed to glow underwater and attract fish to your setup. Available in multiple diameters (1.5 mm, 1.9 mm, 2.1 mm, 2.3 mm, 2.8 mm, 3.0 mm, 3.5 mm), this tubing gives you the flexibility to choose the size best suited to your target species and rig design.

When submerged, the tubing emits a faint glow in low-light conditions, which increases visibility and helps draw curious fish toward your bait — especially in clearer water or along drop-offs. In the darker seasons or at dusk, the lumo effect becomes even more helpful, assisting you in tracking your end tackle. Beyond attraction, the tubing adds stiffness to your trace, offering extra strength and helping reduce tangles. The semi-rigid vinyl or silicone material also protects your trace from abrasion — whether from rough bottom surfaces, line chafe, or sharp-toothed fish that might bite into your leader.

Use it as:

• A boom section to separate your bait from the mainline
• Knot protection tubing, sliding over knots and swivels
• Trace stiffener to reduce wraps and tangles
• Glow attractant in deep or low visibility settings
• Sleeve for assist rigs or dropper loops

Fishing forums mention anglers using green lumo tubing (or beads) to pre-make traces and add a bit of flash and protection to their rigs—the Fishing Website. Meanwhile, rigging brands note that luminous tubing is semi-rigid, making it ideal for small booms or knot protection applications. tronixfishing.com

Whether you're targeting hapuka, snapper, kingfish or surf species, Green Lumo Tubing is an affordable addition to lift both the durability and visual appeal of your rig.
