Here is a link to some tube flies that were created in the early to mid 60's when tinsel tubing first came out, up here anyway. They were developed by Dave Barry of Vancouver Island, not the same Dave Barry that is so well known. I would have posted the pics here but I have been away for awhile and darned if I can remember how.

They were marketed commercially under the name "Barry's Bucktails and Flashtails" and for quite a few years were a popular trolling fly, but while the larger ones were hard to cast and were mainly used behind a flasher, the smaller ones were castable and we used them in that way.
Thought it might be of some interest...Kerry
