While a little dated, Mandel Johnson's Tube Flies will give you
plenty to chew on for a whole lot less money than the Sawada book.
Here's part of an article I wrote on plastic tube flies. There is also
a vast variety of metal tubes. One advantage not mentioned below---may
not apply to
Thanks for that information, Paul. I am going to pick up that Mandel and
Johnson book for about $20. Photos should be terrific, as I see Jim Schollmeyer
was the shooter. I am curious what folks use for plastic tubes, metal tubes and

Hi Jeff,
In the past, I've used the plastic tube from a Q-Tip. Works fine.
Also, any hobby shop will have an assortment of plastic and brass
tubes that can be cut down for use. You can line a metal tube with a
plastic insert by finding a tube and insert that are of similar inside
and outside
I made good experience with the Tiemco 105 as tube Fly hook.
