If brass is what your looking for it can be found at a hobby shop.The have very small brass tubing and all you need is a tubing cutter to make what evey size you need.they also carry a large supply of plastic and nylon materials.most are used for push rods for planes and boats. the price for this kind of thing is pretty cheap none the less. ----- Original Message ----- From: Deborah Duran To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, September 13, 2007 10:17 AM Subject: RE: [VFB] Tube Fly - Brass Tubes
I dug out my tube fly materials and the bic pen refills are too large. The liners I'm looking for are a smaller diameter. I'm having difficulty locating them in that small size made out of the same material.

I can find them in fly shops that sell the ½" style of bullet tubes but they're pretty pricey for a couple feet of plastic tube. I don't really like Q tips I prefer bic pen refills but I'm afraid I can't keep up with my demand. I'm trying to find the kind of tubing they use with Yuri's tubes and Mikael Frodins. I've been able to find the silicone tubing and the vinyl tubing pretty easily but I haven't found the liners yet other than in a bic pen which isn't very practical if you tie a lot of tube flies. I figure you're pretty good at finding that stuff out so I thought I would send this inquiry to you. Anyone out there work for a pen company????

I have not fished with them yet. My interest, however, comes from a new bait idea in bass fishing. I havn't fly fished much due to school and work, as well as working on a new bait idea in the C and W world of bass fishing, which has me truely captivated. I'm in the local tournements and have hooked up with the new state record fish but lost it... I also am on the Pro-Staff of a few companies. The bait idea requires a metal tube, I will definatly be making a trip to my hobby shop. Thanks!!
