Thanks a lot! I should have used a different background for the pictures...

a very nice fly - the hook looks like a perfect choice - thanks!

yes - you can. You simply need different plastic tubes, some metal tubes, different heads with different sizes because your tubes do have different diameters... it is not as easy as it could be. The pro-tube systems is much easier to work with - everything fits together. you choose a tube, you choose a weight that fits, a head that fits... comfort is not cheap And you can do special flies with the pro-tube system you will not get without it - still you could spend your money into feathers... nobody needs (!) the pro-tubes - but they offer some advantages if you pay the price... Detlef (sorry for my poor English)

I'm sorry - only know a German supply: German Flyshop - but you will find a good overview there.

Hi Chris, I do use the Pro-tubes from time to time - the kits are expensive and most flies could be done with a "normal" tube for half the price. But they are flexible and offer a lot of different opportunities: weight, length, head... Here are two flies where I used the Pro-tubes (on the first you see the smaller diameter of the front section): Cheers, Detlef

very nice streamers What hooks did you use? Detlef

Thanks a lot! Cheers, Detlef (webline)

I use the C&F ceramic bobbins or the "Ekich Ultimate Bobbin" with my rotary vise. The C&F bobbins are perfect manual bobbins - very well balanced. When I use the rotary vise in a "rotary fashion" the Ekich has some advantages and helps a lot. Also I do like the weight of the Ekich and you can use it with standard spools - no need to rewind the thread like you have to with the Norvise. I tried the Marc Petitjean bobbin two month ago - there is a lot of hipe around it here in Germany - I didn't like it at all. It doesn't turn very well and the thread can be hurt.
