Ever tie a fly for a 40 inch musky--think of how big and the weight of the hook you would have to use. With a tube BIG fly small hook. Double or treble type. And then some are using them for warm water trolling and again any type hook. Another new idea is having the tube fastened up the line with a peg and use a circle hook below.Whenn the fish strike the circle hook will catch in its lip. BILL
