In article , says...
Why not tie a bunch of
flies that have a 'tube fly' upper, and a regular hook fly lower. When you
tie on the fly, you thread the tippet through the upper tube part, then tie
it onto the hook eye. That would give you a two-part fly that might have
some interesting motion, and you could even mix and match colors/patterns
for an interesting effect. It might work especially well for leech
imitations, streamers, etc.

I'm granting any roffians a 1-year grace period on using this idea before I
start charging royalties.


The patent office rejects your application, on the grounds that at
least one roffian has already done it:

It's a good idea, as it lets you build a massively large pike streamer
on a short shanked hook. And like most good ideas, its probably been
thought of by a thousand guys over the last couple of centuries.
