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

Hareline Hollow Tubing – Micro / Rust brings a feather-light, pliable hollow tube to your fly-tying bench. The micro hollow construction yields a crisp, translucent body that catches light and creates subtle segmentation as you wrap and rib. At roughly 30 inches in length, this tube gives you plenty of material to craft multiple flies without constant re-cutting, making it a practical ally for pattern development and long tying sessions.

Key benefits for patterns

• Wide range of colors to match water tones, insect lifecycles, and lighting conditions.
• Excellent for nymphs, Charleys, and stoneflies, providing clean silhouettes and readable profiles.
• Quality material that holds its shape, texture, and color through handling at the vise.
• Long length (~30 inches) supports efficient work and reduces restocking interruptions.

In real‑world tying, the hollow tubing can be used as a body, rib, or accent to achieve segmented, translucent effects that read well underwater. The soft, flexible tube conforms to shape without adding bulk, while its sheen adds a lifelike glow that helps patterns stand out in dim water or stained streams.

Pattern ideas and practical uses

• Micro tubing bodies for nymphs and larvae that require a slim, tapered look.
• Charley patterns with a distinct, durable rib and a subtle underbody sheen.
• Stonefly patterns that benefit from a segmented, translucent abdomen and wing case hints.

Sizing and color options help you tailor Hareline Hollow Tubing to your project. The product is available in 3 sizes across a broad color spectrum, so you can experiment with combinations that suit different water conditions and insect profiles. A simple pairing guideline is to align tubing color with thread or dubbing tones for a cohesive, natural appearance.

Whether you’re chasing a fast, effective bodied fly or exploring new textures for pattern variation, Hareline Hollow Tubing – Micro / Rust is a versatile addition to your fly‑tying toolkit, offering possibilities without overwhelming your setup.
