In this video, Jay demonstrates how to tie a tube fly using Pro Sport’s Classic Tube and Flexineedle. Jay is also tying this fly with Skinny Grizzle Saddle instead of Ostrich. Using Saddle provides a little more durability than Ostrich and will hold up better over time. Jay finishes the fly off with a Gunsmoke Pro Sport Flexibead which fits on a variety of tubes and helps the fly get down to the right depth.
