Fish-Skull Chocklett's Body Tubing

Chocklett's Body Tubing — The Secret Ingredient Behind Blane Chocklett's Most Iconic Flies

Blane Chocklett is widely regarded as one of the best big game fly anglers, tiers, and guides in the world — and Body Tubing is the material he reaches for again and again across his entire fly catalog. From trout patterns to musky flies, this is the authentic ingredient that creates heads, segments bodies, and keeps materials flared outward to push water and create the illusion of bulk. The result is a fly that looks massive and breathes with life in the water, yet stays light and castable all day long.

What It Does

• Creates heads — slip it over the hook eye and cinch down for a clean, durable fly head
• Segments the body — divide your fly into distinct sections for a more realistic, articulated profile
• Flares materials outward — keeps bucktail, craft fur, and synthetics pushed out to maximize water displacement and movement
• The hollow fly effect — creates the illusion of bulk and volume while keeping the fly light and easy to cast

Perfect For

Game Changer-style flies, large trout streamers, musky and pike patterns, saltwater baitfish imitations, and any fly where Blane Chocklett's hollow fly technique is the foundation of the build.
