Pike Fly, Hot Pink Bunny Tube fly

I have been experimenting with tube flies recently, mainly because some of the patterns I want to tie will close the gape up on a standard hook and affect hook ups.

This fly is tied on a Pro Tube system flexi tube with a soft sonic disc. I have cut off most of the retainer tube leaving approx 10mm left.

I first tied on a "pillow" of UV hot pink fritz followed by a collar of barred blood marabou. I then attached a length of 2 tone zonker strip before locking everything down with a drop of superglue.
The body is a mosaic fritz followed by a marabou collar and topped with some peacock hearl.

Pike Flies. BunnyBou flies....:o)

Hope everyone is well...:o)

I have been tying a lot of flies recently with rabbit strip and marabou as the movement you get with these flies caanot be obtained with synthetics. The flies are not as hard wearing as my usual synthetic baitfish but I dont mind changing out the fly every couple of fish or so.

Hope you like em.
