Neko Rig O rings

I can’t seem to find my O rings for Neko rigs. Living in western Minnesota my chances of finding them at a local store are slim to none before the weekend.
Does anyone have other options to use for an O ring?

Type them into amazon and you can get bags of them. Just type Wacky Rig O ring in the search bar and you will find them.

Small black rubber bands.
I get ones usually sold in the hair care section at Walmart or wherever. You can get a lifetime supply for a couple bucks.

Shrink tubing will work as well. You can find in most ant hardware store

Auto parts stores is where i get mine.They may have to order them if they don’t have enough on hand.

I agree, switched to tubing a few years ago. Don’t need the tool to slide it on…

Do you have to heat up the tubing at all?

Depends on how tight it fits the worm without heating. I normally pre install mine with a heat gun or blow dryer at home prior to the outing.

Western MN? There are plenty of o-rings at the bait shops in Alexandria.

I am south of there 70 miles and will be heading to SD soon. Didn’t want to run up to Christopherson’s before I left.

Also try a hardware store, Menards, Lowe’s etc.. Much cheaper there also. Just ask where the O-rings are. They will probably have a few sizes, so take one with you to compare.
