Quick take
Thin-walled UV silicone tubing in 12 colors for creative fly-tying bodies and tube fly construction.
This pack holds twelve 10-inch lengths of thin silicone tubing, one in each of twelve colors, for tying tube flies at the bench. The tubing measures 1/8 inch inside and 5/32 inch outside, so it suits small tube-fly patterns and hook guides. A soft, flexible wall makes it easy to cut and slide over a shank.
Best for
- Fly tiers making tube flies and UV-sensitive patterns
- Creating segmented fly bodies and nymph patterns
- Tiers wanting UV materials to attract fish in deep or stained water
Skip if
- You tie basic dry flies and nymphs only
- You prefer traditional fly-tying materials
Strengths
- UV coating glows under certain light conditions
- Silicone stays flexible and does not crack
- 12 colors enable creative pattern matching
Trade-offs
- Requires experience to incorporate into fly designs
- Thin wall makes it delicate to work with
- Only small diameter available
