Tube Grub

Nick Thomas
Easy
  1. Thread the tungsten bead onto the hook.
  2. Trim the knotted tube leaving a few millimetres of tube sticking out of the knot.
  3. Push the hook point into the tube and out through the body.
  4. Run on the thread and wrap against the bead to lock it in place.
  5. Tie in the tube around the hook shank.
  6. Dub the space between the body and the bead, smear the thread with varnish and whip finish.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
