from which company?? Like I said the kits vary a lot but with the tubeology its a whole system of interchangeable heads and weights etc.. I see it mainly for salmon and steelhead type rivers.. larger flies lots of weight.. but at the same time as you and I have discussed they do have or you can make almost any fly on a tube and being able to switch hook size and position seems to be a big advantage...
like I said.. Im just looking but can an advantage with a fly like that purplenator and changing out the front hook while keeping the trailing hook the same smaller size.. if you were to have a variety of them tied up on tubes with different size trailing hooks and then select your front hook as conditions dictate .. could be a big advantage..
but on smaller flies.. like chronomids I dont see how it could be tied on a tube to a big advantage... but thats just me.. :-)
