Kraken Tube Fly with Aqua Fur

Using a tube holder, fix a one-inch piece of 1/32” tubing. Use a 6/0 thread and start in the middle of the tube. Wind forward along the remaining half of the tube.

Next, take a small bunch of CCT Aqua Hair, (pull out any small lengths) and then, reverse the Aqua Hair so the tips are now going forward in front of the end of the tube.

Tie the shank in. Rotate the tube and do the same for your accent colors.

Add in some Voodoo Fibers and Krinkle Flash using the same method as above. Apply head cement.

Next, advance your thread to the front of the fibers. Push back all of the fibers to the end of the tube using your thumb, index, and middle finger (to form a cup).

Holding all of the fibers back, tie a small head right in front of the fibers; whip finish and apply head cement. You should have about 1/8” of the tubing exposed.  

Pick the hook that you want according to the species you are after. We recommend our short shank hooks ranging from #4 up to #2/0. Cut a short piece of soft junction tubing and place it on the rear of the tube. Take a small length of monofilament and place it on the end of the tube, tying the hook on. Now, slide the end of the mono through the back of the tube and pull the hook tight. If it’s too far back on the hook, you can remove the hook and monofilament rigging. Shorten the end of the tube to where you want the hook to be and repeat rigging again. 

Advantages:

• Aqua tubes can be used almost anywhere.

• Fish them alone as streamers.

• They also work on foam poppers.

• You can add multiple tubes to make a longer fly with different color combinations.

• The number one advantage of using Aqua Tubes - when a fish is hooked, everything will slide up the leader so nothing gets in the way.
