Fred’s Tip

At Fred’s Custom Tackle, junction tubing is a small piece of material that makes a big difference when tying tube flies. Cut small sections and fit them over the tube body so your hook sits perfectly behind the fly while still allowing it to be easily replaced.

Expanded Description

The OPST Junction Tubing is designed to create a secure connection point between the tube body of a fly and the trailing hook. When tying tube flies, a short piece of junction tubing is placed at the rear of the tube, allowing the hook to slide into the tubing and hold firmly in place during fishing.

This system offers several advantages over traditional fixed-hook flies. The hook can be easily replaced if it becomes dull or damaged, and fish often stay hooked better because the fly body can slide freely up the leader during the fight.

The tubing is flexible enough to grip the hook eye securely while remaining easy to cut and work with when tying. With three colour options and a 20-inch length, tiers can create many tube fly setups from a single piece.
