LOL... OK trying again .... you dont fish with the blind eye hook, 

"you place the blind eye hook in the vice to mount the tube while you tie the 
fly" instead of buying one of those ekpensive fancy tube fly vices,

you then take the fly to the river of your choice to go fishing with it and

"slip the tube onto the line leader, tie a hook to the end of the leader and 
pull the fly back against the hook"

iain:
 
Either I am missing something or I just can't get the 
tapered shank .
What holds the tube and tapered shank to the tippet. Where 
do you tie these things together?
I believe that a tapered shank has no eye. Is that 
correct?
You have to lash monofilament to the shank, 
correct?
 
Thank you,

I tie tubes from 3/8 inch to 2-1/2 inch.
I think i did a 
  poor explanation of the blind eye hook. 

The blind eye hooks have 
  tapered shanks, so you just push the hook up the shank till it jams.

If 
  you want to rotate the fly to access the other side just twist tube round the 
  shank.

To fish the fly slip the tube fly onto the leader, tie the 
  single or double or treble hook of your choice to the tip of your leader, fly 
  slides down leader till it reaches the hook.
to keep the hook in line with 
  the tube slip a piece of neoprene tube onto the bottom of the tube, pull the 
  hook into it, hook and fly stay in line.

why not organise a tube fly 
  swap

  Thanks iain, 
  but I dont have any of that type of hook and I dont plan 
  on tying any salmon flies. 
  Do you use that type of hook so it slips into the tube 
  easier.
  Seems like it would be difficult to change flies while 
  out fishing unless you lash the tippet to many hooks at home and use a loop 
to 
  loop to connect them after you attach a tube. Or am I way out in left 
  field?
  I am more into lake fishing for trout and large and 
  small mouthed bass and crappie.
  I sure do appreciate the advise on the 
  tubes.
  Jeff and I are interested in this type of tying and will 
  get more into it as the year progresses.
   
   
  Thank you,

Alan
If the tubes are plastic or plastic lined, just push 
    tube onto the tapered shank of a blind eyed salmon hook.
ist all ive ever 
    used

    Jeff:
     
    Have you gotten the tube holder that you put in 
    the jaws of your vise?
    If so, where did you get it.
    You can reply off list.
    I am also looking into tube flies.

      Iain, thanks for that link last week. I have been doing extensive 
      research and have a bunch of supplies ordered. I am wanting to develop 
      some tube applications for bass. This is what I want to tie for Sowbug 
      this year. Something maybe new to folks.
