How to pump up your Tackle Tube

How do I inflate my Tackle Tube?

The best way to inflate your Tackle Tube is with an air compressor.

Please don't try to pump it with a hand pump, it won't inflate and you will damage the valve.

What kind of air compressor?

• Gas station tyre pumps work really well.
• Air Compressors above 2HP also work well.
• Smaller compressors or electric pumps (e.g 1/5 HP 12v) are not recommended, you risk damaging your electric pump.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Tackle Tubes don't have an exact PSI number, as the tube inflates it expands and there's no way of accurately measure the air, refer to the question below to know when it has been correctly pumped up.

The cover in my Tackle Tube is too loose?

Is the cover on your tackle tube too loose or the inner tube appears to be too small? 

These tubes can take a lot more air than it looks like, if the cover is too loose you should keep pumping. Optimal shape should be loose enough that you can pinch it with your fingertips, but not too loose that you can grab it with your whole palm.
