For the Tube Shiner we use the Tungsten Bump
tube kit from The Canadian Tube Fly Company.
The hook is chosen by the species of fish you are after.
Craft fur makes a nice body. The tungsten tube gets
this streamer quickly down to the fish. Liner tubing and

1. Liner tubing is inserted into the tungsten
tube and melted on one end so the tube
doesn't slip off. We begin our thread in front
of the tube wrapping a thread base on the
clear liner tubing. You can also add your
junction tubing now before placing the tube
on the adapter.

4. Tie off and remove the fly from the
adapter. Add your junction tubing to the rear
of the fly. I used pink so you can see. The
hook will slide into the junction tubing. Clip
the plastic tubing so that about 1/16 of tubing
remains in front of the head of the fly.

5. Melt the tubing that remains in front of the

step also keeps the tube in place. When ready
to fish, thread your leader through the tube
