Hareline Hollow Tubing Micro Red – Fly Tying Tubing for Nymphs, Charleys & Stoneflies

Overview

Hareline Hollow Tubing Micro Red is part of a versatile tubing line offered in a wide range of colors across three sizes, including micro. At roughly 30 inches in length, this tubing provides a lightweight, easy-to-shape material for your fly tying projects. The micro size offers a slim body option with a clean profile, while the larger variants let you build bolder, more robust bodies. The translucent red shade catches light as you move your flies, helping patterns read in both current and calm water. This tubing is designed to be simple to work with, making it a practical addition to any tying bench.

With three sizes to choose from, you can tailor thickness and taper to match your pattern goals. The tubing’s smooth texture provides a comfortable grip during wrapping, helping you achieve even, consistent results across a batch of flies. The approximate 30-inch length means you’ll have plenty of material for multiple bodies, ribbing accents, or quick field repairs without constant re-cutting.

Key benefits for your patterns

• Wide range of colors to match natural hues and seasonal variations.
• Great for nymph patterns, enabling realistic body shaping and profile.

Crafting tips and practical uses

Available in three sizes, you can tailor body thickness and taper to fit your pattern goals.

Layering multiple pieces can help you build segmented bodies or subtle ribbing for added realism.
