Egret Prop Tubes |
Tube tyers have been using many tricks over the years to create patterns with bigger profiles in the water. Too often delicate feathers and fur will often become matted down while in the current, giving a tube fly a slim look. We created the Egret Prop Tube to not only create a bigger look with your favourite patters but also to give it better action. If materials can be "pushed" or "propped" up away from the actual tube , the fly will have more fibers and barbs that will flair out and "dance" in the current! |

10 tubes (5 - 1 inch "Single Prop" Tubes and 5 - 2 inch "Double Prop" Tubes) plus plastic insertion tubes and junction tubing.
Here are a few of our patterns with some "under-carriage" pictures. You can see that the globs of glue hold up the feathers or fur that are tied in front of them. Many tiers over the years have achieved a similar effect using a ball of dubbing. The effect is similar, though the glue balls are much harder and way more durable than soft dubbing! |

10 - 2 inch "Double Prop" Tubes plus plastic insertion tubes and junction tubing.
These tubes create a larger profile tube while still tying with soft, flowing feathers and fur. Too often our beautiful creations are compressed into a small leach looking fly in the current! |
