Quick take
Versatile tubing material for tying nymph and streamer bodies with segmentation and durability.
Hareline's clear micro tubing is a flexible, hollow strand that stretches and slides over a hook shank for midge, nymph and small streamer bodies. Its transparency also makes it a handy ribbing material for segmented looks on chironomid patterns. It suits fly tiers building trout flies at the vise.
