Does anyone tie or use tube flies?

I used tube flies as an experiment for perch and zander last year, the
big advantage seems to be that you can eliminate short strikes by moving
the hook towards the tail-end of the streamer. I tie them on q-tips, and
use a small piece of tubing to secure the hook.
An example is he http://home.planet.nl/~nijla141/tubefly.jpg
