Pro Tubefly System
While at the Somerset New Jersey Show, I met Morten Bundgasard, Managing Director of Pro Tubefly System. Now here’s innovation. I can’t believe that someone actually has made plastic propellor blades for tubes. WOW is all I have to say. At long last, someone is thinking. In addition, they have a variety of cone head weights to give the tubes jigging action, and plastic and metal trumpet bells (placed on the leader with the wide end pointing forward) to give the tube a most enticing swimming action. There are even bells with holes cut into them to create current flow through the bell as the tube is retrieved.
Add to the mix precisely molded tubes in different sizes that can be used without a latex hook sleeve–and which are flexible from -22F to 122F, latex hook sleeves if you want them, a very easy to use, flattened pin that is held in the vise on which the tubes can be placed while the fly is tied, and more, and you have a tubefly system second to none.
You can see all their great offerings at www.proflytyer.com. Click on “products” in the header bar.
