Tubes

There are several benefits to using tubes for fly fishing over standard flies which are tied directly to a hook. These are commonly used for weighted Steelhead and Salmon flies.

Tubes give fly fishermen much more flexibility, as they are not tied down to a particular hook, allowing them to choose the make and size to suit their preference and water condition. Imagine being able to change from a single 8 to a treble 10 or between freshwater and saltwater without requiring a separate fly, simply switch the hook! This saves money by being able to reuse the same pattern without buying multiple variations attached to all the desired hooks you could require.

And if a hook does break or wears, you no longer have to throw away the fly. Benefits all round!

We have 4 varieties of tubes, Copper, Aluminium, Plastic and Bottle/Brass. These can be used to help adjust the sink rates of the fly.

Request a fly, size or option

We work closely with our fly tyers and can tie most patterns to order: a different hook size, barbless instead of barbed, a tungsten bead instead of a gold head; just ask.

Sending a request is free and you are not committing to buy. Depending on where we are in our tying cycle it can take a month or two for a pattern to arrive, and we may not be able to tie every request (fair usage applies); but if we can, we will.

Sign in first and we'll pre-fill your email and keep the request with your account.
