# **How to Choose Fly Tying Brass Bottle Tubes (20 Tubes) for Tying Salmon and Sea Trout Tube Flies**

When it comes to fly fishing for salmon and sea trout, tube flies have become increasingly popular due to their versatility, durability, and lifelike movement in the water. A crucial component of tying these flies is selecting the right **brass bottle tubes**. If you’re looking for a high-quality set, the **KyleBooker Fly Tying Brass Bottle Tubes (20 tubes)** is an excellent choice. In this guide, we’ll explore how to choose the best brass bottle tubes for tying effective salmon and sea trout tube flies.

## **Why Use Brass Bottle Tubes?**

Brass bottle tubes are preferred by many fly tyers for several reasons:

1. **Durability** – Brass is a strong, corrosion-resistant metal that withstands repeated use and exposure to water.
2. **Weight & Sink Rate** – Brass adds weight to the fly, helping it sink faster—ideal for deep-water salmon and sea trout fishing.
3. **Smooth Surface** – The polished surface allows for easy sliding of hooks and prevents snagging.
4. **Compatibility** – These tubes work well with various hook systems, including treble and single hooks.

## **Key Factors When Choosing Brass Bottle Tubes**

### **1. Size & Diameter**
The **KyleBooker set includes 20 tubes**, providing a range of sizes for different fly patterns. For salmon and sea trout, the ideal diameter typically ranges from **2mm to 4mm**, depending on the desired fly size. Thinner tubes are great for smaller, more subtle presentations, while thicker tubes allow for bulkier, more durable flies.

### **2. Length**
Standard brass bottle tubes come in lengths between **20mm to 50mm**. Shorter tubes are ideal for smaller sea trout flies, while longer tubes are better for larger salmon patterns. The **KyleBooker tubes** offer a balanced length suitable for most applications.

### **3. Wall Thickness**
A thicker wall provides extra durability but adds weight, which may affect the fly’s sink rate. Thinner walls are lighter but may bend under pressure. The **KyleBooker tubes** strike a perfect balance, ensuring strength without excessive weight.

### **4. Compatibility with Tube Fly Systems**
Ensure the tubes fit well with **tube fly adapters, cones, and hooks**. The **KyleBooker brass tubes** are precision-machined for seamless integration with most tube fly components.

### **5. Finish & Polish**
A smooth, polished interior prevents friction when threading hooks, while an external polish enhances durability and corrosion resistance.

## **How to Use Brass Bottle Tubes for Tube Flies**

1. **Select the Right Tube Size** – Match the tube to your target species (smaller for sea trout, larger for salmon).
2. **Thread the Hook** – Use a **tube fly adapter** or **flexible silicone tube** to secure the hook.
3. **Tie the Fly** – Wrap materials (fur, feathers, flash) around the tube, securing them with thread and glue.
4. **Test in Water** – Ensure the fly has the right sink rate and movement.
