Default Tube and Twin lead Slim Jim

I have tried the Slim Jim antenna on the 2m. I used a 1/4" copper tube,
antenna is very good. Then I made another one using 300 Ohm TV clear twin
lead, but SWR is very high and it seems to be not adjustable to the same 1:1
of the first antenna. Why? Does anyone know where is the problem?

How can one move the feedpoint up and down the
matching stub with insulation on the wire?
