FFGene Silicone Tubes Medium (2x4)

FFGene Silicone Tubes Medium (2x4) is elastic silicone tubing with a hollow centre for winding bodies and ribs. Use touching turns on the hook shank for continuous coverage, or space the turns to create clear segmentation. The nominal Medium (2x4) size suits medium nymphs, wet flies and streamers when a tubular winding material is required.

Construction and use

Attach the tubing at the rear of the prepared underbody and stretch it evenly as you advance toward the eye. Avoid concentrated thread pressure, allowing the hollow centre to retain its shape. Touching turns form a continuous body, while spaced turns work as ribbing or separate the body into segments. Tie off at the front, trim the end and finish the head with neat thread wraps.
