Thread: Where to buy plastic tubes for third pin?

I have a fair assortment of plastic tubes. They are used for tying tube fishing flies and are available in several colors and diameters. If I knew the size I would see if I have any that would work.

approx 1/16 - 5/64 ID and 1/8 - 3/16 OD

I have .080 id x .125 od in a rigid clear tube and several colors (black,red, translucent blue, red, green, orange, yellow, purple) in semi-rigid tube that is slightly larger id. The pieces are 4 to 5 inches long.

I also have some bigger and some smaller, but I think this is closest to the right size.

Is there a link we can order some from, or a name we should look for at the Sports shop?????

PM me your address and I'll send you some pieces to try out. They're easy to find online "tube fly tubes".

Wow, didn't even think of that. Probably the easiest option for me. Still can't believe I lost the one I did. That is what I get for cleaning my workbench before finishing the razor. I know it is in my wet/dry vacuum somewhere.
