DaUP 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 with a tube fly the fly is tied on a tube then the line is passed through the tube and a hook is tied on, this way you can easily change hook sizes and it also give a lower mortality rate Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandflyx 0 Report post Posted September 30, 2006 Tube fly's originated in europe for salmon and sea trout. Whats nice about them is they sink fast(metal tubes) and you can combine them to make different colored flies.They were designed with treble hooks but most go with a single hook nowadays..great saltwater fly..
