Hi

I am looking for some XL Tubes to use for Pike flies.
Does anyone know where to get them from.
All i can seem to find is the Tubeology type tubes.

Kind regards
Matt

Would have thought Toby's site would sort you out - you can make up tubes to whatever length you want.

Nice!
Would you consider the tubes big enough (in diameter) for Pike flies?
I have been told to look for XL tubes but i have no idea what the XL equates to in mm's.

If you want to add weight via a cone head you will need to purchase both large and small diameter tube. The small fits inside the large and accommodates the coneheads being just under 2mm dia.

Go onto U Tube and search Davie McPhail who gives some superb video SBS of tube flies and how to construct.
