The Many Benefits of Tying Tube Flies

Many people wonder what are the benefits of tying tube flies? Here are a few:

Traditional Tube Flies

Low mortality—With a tube fly, if a fish swallows the hook, simply cut the leader. The hook will then dissolve away without causing any additional harm to fish. You just replace the hook and continue fishing.
New options—The pattern size and style of a tube fly aren't dependent on hook style like conventionally tied flies.
Versatility—Tube flies allow you to easily switch your hooks from freshwater styles to saltwater and back again.
Endless hook options (primarily short shank)—Single, double and treble with fine, standard or extra strong wire diameters all work well with tube flies.
Catch more fish—When fighting the fish, less hook leverage with shorter shank hooks result in a higher percentage of fish caught. A tube fly will allow you to control the precise placement of the hook on your fly.
Your tube flies will last longer—During the fight, the tube fly slides up the leader and away from sharp teeth.
Re-use—If the hook breaks or dulls, simply replace it and continue fishing the same tube fly.
Easy adjustments—Incorporate brass, tungsten or aluminum tube bodies, cones and beads to add or adjust sink rates of tube flies.

Convertible tube flies have the same appearance and benefits as traditional tube flies, but the pieces are treated as components... "heads/tubes" and "tails/hooks".
The tube fly components can be interchanged to create an endless "mix and match" color and profile combinations while angling.
Always have the right tube fly in your box to match the food source or fishing condition at hand.
