Body Tubing is the authentic secret ingredient for a lot of streamers. You can pimp ever streamer, from trout flies to pike/musky flies. Used for heads, to segment bodies and to keep the materials flared up, allowing them to push more water and have the illusion of bulk. The so called 'hollow fly effect' keeps your flies light and castable all day long.
Create a bigger fly body with less materials
The more materials you use, the heavier your fly gets, making it harder to cast. Body Tubing creates a ramp for your material to lay against, which flares it out to create the illusion of bulk without using much material, keeping your fly light and easy to cast.
Make your fly push more water
The flared materials allow your fly to push more water, making it more likely to attract the attention of your target fish.
Give your streamers longer lives
Body Tubing is designed to be tied to protect thread wraps from the teeth of fish. In addition, as the body materials begin to flatten against the body from extended fishing, you can push the tubing forward against the tying materials to flare them back up.
