Tube flies have gained popularity in fly fishing for steelhead, salmon and saltwater fish.

Temple Dog tied by Josh Linn. Tube flies are accepted world wide and each geographic area and culture exerts its influence on how tubes are made and how they are employed.  All sizes of flies are tied on tubes.  Currently, tube fly sizes range from tiny trout flies to huge billfish flies.  Salmon and steelhead tube flies have been going through a period of constant evolution for the last 10-years. This fueled by a cross pollenization of Scandinavian, UK and Pacific Northwest tying and fishing styles.  The most obvious advantage of using tube flies is being able to size the fly and the hook
independently.  This approach has proven to be most beneficial when larger than average flies are employed.  In the case of steelhead flies, the tube fly approach has allowed them to become much larger and lighter in weight.  Directions for tying Scandi Tube Flies with F.I.T.S tubing...

FRÖDIN IMPROVED TUBE FLY SYSTEM – F.I.T.S

Mikael Frödin and Hĺkan Norling have used these flexible plastic tubes for more than 20 years. Today, they are the standard for modern tube flies used in Scandinavia. The tubing is available in four sizes; X-small, Small, Medium and Large. The sizes fit into each other. There is no need for extra tubing to steer the hook. It fits directly into these flexible tubes. The material is smooth and unaffected by temperatures, it won't crack in the cold and it works equally well with fixed or a loose hook. The dimensions of the tubes are synchronized to work with cone heads. That way, you will get well-balanced flies with the right weight to turn over your cast and make the fly fish most efficiently.
TUBING COMBINATIONS

X-Small: Fits with Medium tubing and together with standard cone heads or tungsten cones.
Small: Fits the Large tubing and HMH cone heads.
Medium: All round tube.
Large: For large tubes.
F.I.T.S. Turbo Cones and F.I.T.S. Tungsten Cones are now available
FLUORESCENT IMPROVED TUBE FLY SYSTEM – F.I.T.S
These fluorescent plastic tubes are the single most important news in materials for tube flies, since the arrival of Flashabou!! The release of these tubes on the market has changed the look of modern tube flies forever. By using the tubes as they are, or combining them with dubbing or translucent material, you can create a shine to the flies, unlike anything else. The tubing itself contains a lot of fluorescence, which makes it glow very well in low light conditions. By burning a Fl. Orange tube, together with a black Cone head, you will create a fluorescent orange band at
the front of the Cone. The popular making of riffle-tubes now also becomes more exciting. A simple thing like using a small piece of fluorescent tubing in front of a free hanging hook, gives a new exciting look to your fly. 
Tubing comes in one meter lengths.
To facilitate tying with this tubing, we suggest a tapered needle.

Cone head tube fly tied by Josh Linn.

HMH Cone Heads For Tubes
A fly that employs a cone head for weight is streamlined and comparatively easy to cast. Usually these flies will sink slightly faster than the fastest sinking fly line.  this is a distinct advantage when fishing for salmon and steelhead holding deep in cold water.  Cone heads are easy to tie with and can be added to a tube fly either before or after the rest of the fly is constructed.  melt the front of a plastic tube so that it swells and  holds

the cone in place.  These "large bore" cones fit over several types of tubing.  They are most often used with Hard Plastic tubes.  Temple Dog style flies take on very seductive actions when front weighted with a heavy cone.  Saltwater squid and minnow imitations also assume "duck & dive" actions when tied with these cones. 
Quantity = 10 per package.
