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!
Egret Prop Tubes Assortment

$12.99

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!
Egret Prop Tubes - 1" Single Bumps

$11.99

10 - 1 inch "Single Prop" Tubes plus plastic insertion tubes and junction tubing.

Egret Prop Tubes - 2" Double Bumps

$13.99

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!
