The Canadian Tube Fly Company
Hybrid Tubes
Juri Shumakov Long Range Tubes
Hybrid Tubes are tubes that are made up of both metal and
plastic components where the tying is (usually) done on the
plastic portion of the liner tube, in front of the metal "outer"
tube. The late Juri Shumakov was the first tube tyer to
pioneer this idea of incorporating plastic and metal in order
to achieve better balance in his flies.

If you do an Internet search for "TUBE FLY SYSTEMS" you
will see that there are several companies now selling hybrid
tubes as complete systems, simplifying into three or four
basic components that fit together like a glove. We have
decided to take a different approach to tube tying, putting the
creativity back into tubes!

All of our tubes listed here work on the same plastic liner
tube.
