If I may interject here. The premise is that when hooked, the fly itself, which is tied on the tube and free of the hook, slides up the leader away from the hook. This lessens the leverage by eliminating the weight & length of the fly. The only contact with the fish is the short shanked hook.

Could you explain a little more what this advantage is? I'm assuming that having the hook pivot at the back end of a tube reduces the likelihood of having the hook work out while fighting. Is that so?
Thanks,
