Yet another Tube

Recommended Posts

Greetings all,

I'm calling this Tequila Sunrise. It's a study in transitioning colors. LOL! In a recent post, Jens said something about leaving the inner tube 5-6mm longer. These are prefab tubes. Is there a way to remove the liner tube and replace it? Thanks for any help for the nubee!! For your critiques and amusement. -Jamie

Looks fine. Is there any need to have a tiny little head on a fishing fly? There is a difference between big and oversized if you get my meaning. Bob

Hi James

Nice fly this Tequila Sunrice. Is that not a drink? :rolleyes:

When you use these prefab metaltubes (slipstream e.g.) dont try to replace the inner tube it is not worth the efford or even possible.

Instead use a thinner thread and some fewer turns.

Regards

Jens
