Tube fly tyers are a particular bunch! I think that is what makes tube tying so exciting, it really has tyers thinking "outside of the box". Tube tyers are also well known for being "do-it-yourselfers" and creating new tools or materials that will best suite their own tying. That is why we have brought in these "Pin Blanks". They are straight pieces of solid steel that can be easily ground down into a tapered pin exactly to the specifications of your desire. All you need is a drill!

Available in 2 and 4 mm diameters. Just place the tapered pin blank in the chuck, tighten it up and you are ready to grind down the taper on the pin. You want to move the pin back and forward on the angle to create the smooth transition. Be sure to continuously check the taper on your favourite tube so you don't grind too much away!
