The Canadian Tube Fly Company
Hybrid Tubes
| Hybrid Tubes are tubes that are made up of both metal and plastic components where the tying is (usually) done on the plastic portion of the liner tube, in front of the metal "outer" tube. The late Juri Shumakov was the first tube tyer to pioneer this idea of incorporating plastic and metal in order to achieve better balance in his flies. If you do an Internet search for "TUBE FLY SYSTEMS" you will see that there are several companies now selling hybrid tubes as complete systems, simplifying into three or four basic components that fit together like a glove. We have decided to take a different approach to tube tying, putting the creativity back into tubes! All of our tubes listed here work on the same plastic liner tube. The metal portions that make up the outside of the body of the tube fly all work with this liner. The Liner Tube that comes with our Hybrids comes in uncut lengths (except for Eumer) so that you have control on the length of your pattern. This also allows you to add monster cones and standard cones as YOU best see fit. |
