Hareline Hollow Tubing is a unique product that has tons of uses for a creative fly tyer. It is a semi-transparent hollow tubing with built-in stretch. It is a great material for creating bodies on a number of fly patterns. It is extremely versatile in the number of colors and sizes available.
Patterns and Tying Techniques - Typically, Hareline Hollow Tubing is used to create bodies on nymphs and streamers. It can be stretched to make the tubing and body flatter, or it can be wrapped in a relaxed way to make great segmentations. Wire can also be inserted into the tubing to create contrast.
Hareline Hollow Tubing vs Hareline D Rib - The main difference between Hollow Tubing and D Rib is the shape. The Hollow Tubing is round and hollow, whereas the D Rib is shaped like a capital D in cross-section.
Nymphs - Hareline Hollow Tubing is perfect for making realistic and easy bodies on nymph and midge patterns like the Tube Midge. You can also use the tubing for bodies on Crazy Charlies and other small shrimp and flats flies. It is also a great option for caddis pupa and larva patterns.
Approximate Dimensions - Micro for hooks 18 and smaller: 0.02 in; Midge hooks 14-18: 0.03 in; Standard hooks 14 and up: 0.04 in.
Pack Size - One roughly 30 in length per pack. **These sizes may vary based on manufacturer packaging**

"Fast shipping"
"Great product and great service"
"I use the tubing for control cables on model motorcycles, I’ve never been fly fishing in my life."
"Easy to work with."
"Great inventory of fly tying supplies. Shipped early. Only place I could find for all my fly tying needs, one stop shopping"
"I like the size of this tubing for my larger chironimid flies. It makes a good looking bug and is easy to use."
"These are great for ribbing flies and especially for tying simple, yet realistic midge imitations. Now that I have bought different sizes I would suggest micro for size 18 or smaller hooks, midge for size 16-14, and standard for ribbing larger flies."
