Default Does anyone tie or use tube flies?

For pike I tied a couple of short tubes, 'dressed' with bucktail,
feathers and the usual hodgepodge of glitter and such. I more or less
stuck to one color per tube.
Crimp a treble on the end of a piece of wire, and slide on a couple of
tubes. That way you can easily change the color combination and size of
your streamer.
I even made some small tubes with only lead wire, if I need to fish the
streamers deep.
I'll see if I can get a picture on-line to clarify this g.
