Guest rich mc Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 from what i have read . the fly lasts longer and less fish are lost by throwing the hook. especially with tube crease flies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 Rich, I'm with Timothy on this one. I played around with a few designs using a home made tube adapter for my vice and in the end, I really didn't see any added value to the tube flies that I tied. Now of course there might be some different patterns where the tube may be just the ticket and so I'm hoping others might offer their input.

CarlB Posted July 2, 2012 Report Share Posted July 2, 2012 I've been tying on tubes for a few years, most fly patterns can be adjusted to a tube. Leach patterns, streamers , spey style and even nymphs can be tied on tube , plastic or metal. I've caught Smallies, Largemouth, Steelhead a lot of Steelies and Browns and Salmon. You can change the size and style of hooks. Here are a few of the flies . http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad227/CarlB46/Flies/002-4.jpg http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad227/CarlB46/Flies/013.jpg http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad227/CarlB46/Flies/008-2.jpg http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad227/CarlB46/Flies/TubeLeechPurpleEggSucking1.jpg http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad227/CarlB46/Flies/012-1.jpg http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad227/CarlB46/Flies/012-2.jpg http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad227/CarlB46/Lake%20Run%20Browns/photo12.jpg http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad227/CarlB46/Lake%20Run%20Browns/073.jpg http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad227/CarlB46/Lake%20Run%20Browns/006-3.jpg http://i938.photobucket.com/albums/ad227/CarlB46/Steelie/005-2.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
