Tube Fly Tubes???

All about flies Fly Tying

I have several hundred fiber glass and/or graphite tubes rangeing in size from slightly less than 1/8" in outside diameter to as large as 1/2" in outside diameter. Pieces are 4 1/2" to 5 1/2" long and are quite rigid. I see these as useful for tying tube flies. Is there a market out there for them?

I posted a reply to B Haffley’s question, why is it gone?

He was trying to figure out how to make the BB work, I suspect he accidently removed the replies…

Most of my tubes, for “Tube Flies” are between 1/8 inch - to - 1/4 inch, in diameter. It all depends on the size of the hooks eye. I mainly use plastic tubing, and metal tubing.

I suppose fiberglass would work, but I wonder about the brittleness of the tubing when cutting to length and also it they would hold up to repeated fish strikes.
