I tied some flash tubes for pikes in the past. They looked good, but nowadays there are special plastic tubes for pike with a really big diameter available, which makes it easier to get the wire leader through it. So I rebuild most of my tubeflies and used their materials to tie new ones, mostley the eyes, flash and hackles.
This is the result. I’m quite satisfied how Frankenstein looks now. ;-)
Hello what’s the materials involved with this fly pattern?

Hi Jake, search on YouTube for “Niklaus Bauer Pike Tube”. Niklaus made some extremly nice tying videos about those kind of pike tubes! You will love the videos! There you’ll find all the infos you need.
