I’ve been using body tubing for my trout flies and noticed a big difference in how they move in the water. They look more natural and have better action when fishing in clear streams.

The tubing holds up well during long casts and doesn’t break easily. I use it for both small and large game flies and it’s a reliable addition to my fly tying kit.
