Everything below is provided by Gunnar for this video.
“This video is intended as a Primer on Predator Tube Fly Design. It includes the topics of “Why” tube flies are worth experimenting with, “How” to design them to maximize balance, momentum, and action, and ends with the specific fishing techniques to get the most out of there design. Tutorials for the flies in this video will be posted and linked below when made available.”
Note worthy things:
HMH Small Copper Tubes 1″
HMH Large Copper Tubes 1″
HMH Large Rigid Tubes
HMH Junction Tubing (Large) 3/16″ O.D.
HMH Tube Fly Converter (HMH Vises only) – comes with pins

Sedotti’s Slammer Variation tied on the New HMH 1/8″ Dia. Predator Tubes (not available yet)
“Note: Leader Builds with Nylon Coated Stainless Steel – I omit the Liner Tubing provided with the Copper Tubes. You must use the Liner Tubing if running a Mono Leader or the square edge of the tube will cut the Mono! ”
“For Stainless Steel Leaders, Check out Rio’s Bite Wire (20lb and 30lb work best) Tie knots as normal – recommend using a Uni Knot to the Hook and Perfection Loop for the Loop to Loop.”
Hooks:
Kona BGH 4/0
Gami SL12S 1x Short! (Black Nickel)
“Also Note: Large Hook eyes such as most Saltwater 4/0 and above will NOT fit into the junction tubing highlighted in this video. Check the Mark Sedotti Slammer Video (when available) to see Tubing and Junction Tubing intended for 4/0 and above hooks.”
