Hareline Hollow Tubing Micro Orange - 3-Size Tubing for Nymphs, Charleys & Stoneflies

Overview

Hareline Hollow Tubing Micro Orange delivers a lightweight, flexible body option for small fly patterns. The tubing is approximately 30 inches long and comes in a wide range of colors across three sizes, giving you color and diameter options to match river light, water color, and pattern proportion. The micro hollow design helps you shape slim, durable bodies that tie cleanly and maintain form as you fish, providing a natural appearance without adding unnecessary bulk. The material's smooth surface glides over thread wraps and resists fraying, so you can tie with confidence from first wrap to finish.

On the workbench, the tubing feels soft yet resilient, with a glossy surface that accepts adhesives and coatings evenly. When you wrap it around a hook shank, it holds its intended diameter, helping you keep a consistent profile from head to tail. In practical use on the water, the hollow tubing can contribute to a slender silhouette that helps simulate natural insect bodies under light and current.

Color Range and Sizing

Choose from a versatile palette to match water tone and light conditions. The three sizes let you dial in the diameter for different hook sizes and pattern proportions. Practical tips include keeping a few color options handy for quick substitutions and measuring lengths to support efficient tying sessions.

• Wide range of colors
• Three sizes to fit different patterns and hook sizes

Ideal Uses

Pattern ideas show how this tubing complements small bodies. Use it to build slender, lifelike nymph bodies, craft compact Charley patterns with a buoyant profile, or create tapered stoneflies with realistic tapering.

• Nymph bodies: create slender, segmented forms
• Charley patterns: build compact, buoyant profiles
• Stoneflies: craft tapered, realistic bodies

Quality material supports clean trimming and consistent diameter, helping wraps stay neat through typical tying sessions. While results vary with technique and materials, the tubing offers predictable behavior under common tying conditions.

Tips for Tying

• Trim cleanly for crisp ends
• Use a fine-tip tool to select the correct diameter

Length and color variety provide flexible options for your practice and field use, making Hareline Hollow Tubing Micro Orange a handy addition to a fly tying shelf.
