Hi Wayne, In the case of Atlantic Salmon flies I expect its to get some weight into the fly via the metal tube to get the fly done to the bottom in cold water. Others, tied in certain ways, allow the 'fly' to be fished in a different way to conventional flies such as half-hitched where one end of the tube is sealed and a hole drilled in the centre of the tube causing the fly to create a wake when finished in/on the surface.
Thats my theory anyway.
