Of coarse with all things fishing, everyone has their own personal preferences ​when it comes to hooks. Below are some of our favourites when fishing tubes!

A tube hook should be short shank (of coarse) to gain the advantage of having less leverage between the tie on point and the bend. This is a must for tube flies and of course is one of the major reasons for using a tube fly in the first place. A tube fly hook also needs to have a heavier gauge hook than one would normally use on a hooked pattern. Many tube fly manufacturers do go over board a bit with this though. A well made tube fly hook does not need to have a gauge of wire three or four times as heavy as a standard fly hook. That's why we like the Egret hook, It has additional weight because of the heavier gauge wire, though it's not totally heavy just for the sake of being heavy. Proper balance within a tube fly is essential, too often one has to use extremely heavy cones to counter balance some of the very heavy tube hooks on the market today.
