Stu Foxall's latest creation is a tube fly utilizing the Pro Sportfisher Ultra Sonic Cones. These cones are made of brass and are slotted. The Ultra Sonic Cone adds some weight to the fly, but is still very easy to lift out of the water due to the venting holes, while maintaining the capability to create a vortex behind the disc, allowing soft materials to swim freely instead of collapsing in hard current. Very nice tie up. Make sure you take a long some of these on your next Steelhead fishing trip. Comes with hook.

The Hartwick's Flashtail Tube series is tied in a style to provide a lot of flash and a moderate size profile. A brass cone is used to hold the marabou in a position so the profile will not collapse. Great Tie, and this is a Steelhead catcher!

Hartwick's Hoser Tube presents a giant, flowing profile in the water. Weight has been added in the form of a tungsten cone. Not only does this cone add weight, but it is tied in reverse so it creates a solid bump where the marabou is tied in. The marabou will not collapse and the profle remains, even in the fastest water.

The Quigley's Dragon Gurgler - Made to spit water
The Dragon Gurgler wake fly was originally devised by Mr. Bob Quigley.
This the Quigley’s Dragon Gurgler in a Fishmadman tube version – A wake fly with an attitude.
Designed to spit water and to be fished with a stop and go motion. The tube will take a variety of
different hooks and hook settings.
Fish your Dragon Gurgler with the hook up-side-down
Some steelhead anglers prefer to fish the hook upside-down on their Quigley’s Dragon Gurgler –
and to do so in an easy and smart way you may use a so-called egg hook or up-eye hook – as
seen fitted on the fly in the image. The up-eye hook will enable you to get a different angle on the
hook and the low-memory medium soft tubing the Gurglers is tied on, is well suited to
accommodate such a fly fishing method.
This a 50 – 45-millimeter version… or medium – Equivalent to a fly tied on a # 2 – 4hook. Comes with hook.
Two ways to rig this fly: 1. Riffling hitch system - see image above 2. Tie on like regular tube fly - leader down tube, and tie on hook. Push hook up into tube.

These new wide-profile cones create a turbo vortex at the front of a tube fly. The turbo cone gives the fly a unique swimming action. The action combined with the soft materials, which pulsate to mimic breathing, produces a fly that drives fish crazy. Whether fishing in the slowest or hardest of currents, the fly will move and pulsate like no other pattern. In addition to the unique movements, the turbo cone also provides a little bit of weight to help get the fly down. Our Turbo Cone Tube Flies are tied on a 1.25-inch tube with a 10mm turbo cone. Comes with Size 2 trailing hook.

Tube flies that stack.UV2 Versi Tube by Spirit River Holy Wow...these we a multi staff brainstorm we had and this pattern series has already proven itself. It is a tube fly that is designed to be stacked. Years ago another fly company had this idea....perhaps it was Solitude or Idlewild. But they kinda sucked. Poor execution id say. Just a wad of marabou and a touch of flash. We have added better components, better color combos, .and made them UV2. The color combos are exactly what any avid steelhead fisherman needs. Two colors: Blue, Purple Comes with Hook
