Very Cool Tubes

[Pup]

See what you think... These are the real tube flies.

Tube Jig Fly

River bass fishers should find them useful as well as fun to tie. They certainly are neat to look at imo.

Neat fly concept!! Still think that I will use the plastic tubes on occasions for the Crappie. In saying that I think I will order some silicone skirt material to play with. Thanks for sharing that with us.

Those are some crazy looking flies but doubt i would ever be able to throw them on my fly rod. Might have enough weight to throw using light line and long spinning rod though. Are some beautiful flies.

Thanks for the link to that site - the pics and info on there are amazing! Bookmarked that for later reading. Wonder how much a EP Crustaceous Brush costs when you use a full sized one to make eack fly? Yikes!

Very nice fly! EP stuff is nice, but very pricey! I am thinking about making a dubbing brush twister and buying some congo hair....

Guys, I'm glad that you found the link to be interesting.

I agree that the cost of the EP brush is prohibitive. This seems like a potentially good application for stiff, short-fiber eyelash yarn. :idea: Well, this is why I like this site. Explore for info, discuss it a bit, and then it leads to ideas.

Mine may have a weed guard btw.

AF,

He wraps those with lead wire behind the dumbbell, so it just might be weighty enough for light spinning.

If you have medium or small lead wire 7 wraps on a #10 hook is about 1/16th. But and I have to check this one I've heard there is a tungsten tying wire out that is smaller in size but heavier weight. Have to find the article again.
