Fish-Skull Chocklett's 1/2" Body Tubing

Used by Blane Chocklett in his big game flies for heads, to segment the bodies, and to keep the materials flared up, allowing them to push more water and have the illusion of bulk - the hollow fly effect - while beight light and castable all day. 

Create a bigger fly body with less materials
The more materials you use, the heavier your fly gets, making it harder to cast. Body Tubing creates a ramp for your material to lay against, which flares it out to create the illusion of bulk without using much material, keeping your fly light and easy to cast.

Make your fly push more water
The flared materials allow your fly to push more water, making it more likely to attract the attention of your target fish.

Give your streamers longer lives
Body Tubing is designed to be tied to protect thread wraps from the teeth of fish. In addition, as the body materials begin to flatten against the body from extended fishing, you can push the tubing forward against the tying materials to flare them back up.

Alternative to reverse-tying for easier body tapering of flies
Whether you're tying with deer hair or other fibers, Body Tubing provides a solution to time-consuming reverse-tying.    

For use in fresh and saltwater streamer fly patterns of all sizes
Body Tubing was made famous for its use in the T-Bone, a large musky fly, but it's a useful material for flies of all sizes. The 3-size range (1/8", 1/4", 1/2") is designed to provide an option for any size streamer fly pattern and to allow for tapering.
