​Tube tyers have been using many tricks over the years to create patterns with bigger profiles in the water. Too often delicate feathers and fur will often become matted down while in the current, giving a tube fly a slim look. We created the Egret Prop Tube to not only create a bigger look with your favourite patters but also to give it better action. If materials can be "pushed" or "propped" up away from the actual tube , the fly will have more fibers and barbs that will flair out and "dance" in the current!

Tube tyers for years have battled over how to make a larger profile tube while still tying with soft, flowing feathers and fur. Too often our beautiful creations are compressed into a small leach looking fly in the current!
