Booms

Booms

I'm about to run out of booms - the type made of black plastic tubing. Does anyone know where this tubing can be got in reasonable quantities? The actual booms would be easy to make. Tackle shops charge silly prices for these items which couldn't cost more ethan a few cents to make.

If there is an alternative material I would be interested in hearing about it.

get the boom kits online from the uk hooks website.

Use the recession option and salvage the tube from kitchen cleaning type spray bottles and Windoline type spray bottles etc they make excellent booms

There's a good article here:
