Finally a swim tank with a 360 degree view! Tony DiBenedetto (the originator of T's Fur) has developed a tank that truly serves the purpose of seeing how a tube fly swims in the current. A very scientific process was applied to the development of this tank, all with hook hang down in mind. Most fly fishermen are happy to test the action of their flies on actual fishing waters, tube flies though provide a much more challenging issue. How many of us have even tested our patterns in a flowing bath tub? Without the proper balance on a tube, fish takes can be missed. With this new tank, balance can be tested and pattens can be re-worked until balance is achieved. The design of this tank allows one to see the action of a fly from all directions, including the all to often missed "fish eye view" which is from the rear. Most test tanks allow a side view with a pump that only circulates at one standard speed. T's Swim Tank allows one to change the flow of the current, complete with a fully adjustable flow setting. T's swim tank takes the guess work out of balancing a tube and puts the control into the tyers hands. For all those who are looking for a way to perfectly "tweak" their favourite flies, the swim tank is a must!

Our favourite, the "fish eye view" |
adapters. We absolutely believe that adapters are the best way to go for the economic tier, they are super little gadgets. That being said, when we had the chance to try out Regals' Revolutionary Series with the tube fly attachment, I must say that our entire tying team was thoroughly impressed. |
