In designing these new tubes, Jurij Shumakov opened the way to a new generation of tube flies. They present many advantages, easy to tie, extremely effective and can survive many takes. The tubes can be combined with any type or size of hook, single, double or treble, using silicone tubing. Once you have got a fish on the hook you can easily remove the fly body, still being intact as it stays out of fish jaws and teeth.
Some metal bodies have three or four slots that can be varnished in different colours which makes the tube look more attractive and exciting than a naked one. Although Shumakov Tubes are very effective and certainly make anglers happy, they are also gentler to salmon than traditional flies. Due to their construction, gills damage caused by a deep take of fly is minimized and thus many salmon lives are saved. Fish will live happily longer, grow up to king size salmons and give you fishermen a chance to beat your previous records!
