One of the things I have really dug about tubes is their versatility. A handful of tubes, a spool of Maxima, some Octopus hooks shove them into the pouch in the waders and giddy up.

You want bigger profile? Stack two marabou tubes. Need more weight? Peg a cone on front. Well last trip I wanted something on the bright side. I was about out of any and all Bantams. I had some black and blue tubes, but was thinking more purpley pink and the Cold Medicine felt (whatever than means) too bling bling. So enter stage left the pink and purple Hoser. I wanted a little less meat in the profile. I pinched the angle hair or whatever marinated in awesomeness matrix of materials Hartwick has in there and snubbed it a bit shorter and swung away.  Don’t know if it mattered? But first run I got the full face rake scissor chop from a good fish and didn’t untie this set up for three days and finding  more fish along the way.

Seems like a lot of the tubes good ol Uncle Idyl offers lend themselves to on water tweaks.  If it helps stay in the mental game, what the heck. Keep em coming.
