Or do you just wrap tight enough that the air is squeezed out? To avoid the trapped air, I bought some solid material from Amazon -- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006DRFACW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 -- but the problem is that you can't avoid adding bulk when you secure the end onto the hook. I was using it to tie baetis nymphs because I noticed they seem to be translucent. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The legs are pushed down so they will fall vertically when stripped and provide a lot of movement. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flytire 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2021 i dont think there will be a huge volume of air trapped in a very short length of tubing to affect the fly it will collapse and go flat depending on how tighly it was wrapped bulk can be avoided by snipping the tubing to a point before tying it on tubing can be filled with wire you can also melt the end and stretch as shown in the following video. thats good for solid beading cord or hollow tubing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
