The Canadian Tube Fly Company
| D.I.Y. Tapered Pins |
| Tube fly tyers are a particular bunch! I think that is what makes tube tying so exciting, it really has tyers thinking "outside of the box". Tube tyers are also well known for being "do-it-yourselfers" and creating new tools or materials that will best suite their own tying. That is why we have brought in these "Pin Blanks". They are straight pieces of solid steel that can be easily ground down into a tapered pin exactly to the specifications of your desire. All you need is a drill! |
$4.99 for three blanks and emery cloth
| You grind down the taper on the pin. You want to move the pin back and forward Place the tapered pin blank in the chuck, tighten it up and you are ready to on the angle to create the smooth transition. Be sure to continuously check the taper on your favourite tube so you don't grind too much away! |
| The D.I.Y. kits come in two different wire gauges, 1 mm and 2 mm. Kits include three wire blanks and two different grits of emery cloth for grinding. |
