mikechell 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2013 With tube flies like those, ChefBen ... do they spin when pulling them through the water? If the hook isn't attached to the fly, it can't be a "keel" or ballast to make the fly ride one side up all the time. How's that work? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crackaig 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2013 Mike, To answer for Ben, It is normal to put a piece of silicone tubing on the back of the tube. Once the line is threaded through and the hook tied on, the eye of the hook is pulled into the silicone tube. This gives enough grip that the tube will not spin, but still ride up the leader while playing a fish. Cheers, C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Piker20 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2013 That's why its important to try to match the right hook size (or should really say wire weight) to the tube so it swims right. The best tube/hook combos swim horizontal or as near as. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chefben4 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2013 Mike.. Crackaig and Piker are correct. You can only see the "hard tube" in most pictures. The silicone tube is in there to hold the hook eye. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chefben4 0 Report post Posted August 4, 2013 How long are those Ben? The green/yellow one is a big fly. Probably around 12". I believe they sell flies like these specifically for Mako's called Trimble Shark flies. The yellow/gray on is smaller, around 8" or so. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
