Hybrid Tubes |
Hybrid Tubes are tubes that are made up of both metal and plastic components where the tying is (usually) done on the plastic portion of the liner tube, in front of the metal "outer" tube. The late was Juri the first tube tyer to pioneer this idea of incorporating plastic and metal in order to achieve better balance in his flies. If you do an Internet search for "TUBE FLY SYSTEMS" you will see that there are several companies now selling hybrid tubes as complete systems, simplifying into three or four basic components that fit together like a glove. We have decided to take a different approach to tube tying, putting the creativity back into tubes! All of our tubes listed here work on the same plastic liner tube. In most cases, the metal is used as the body of the fly and the tying is done on the plastic section in front of the metal tube. |
