FITS Tube System

 

 

 

Frödin Improved Tube System – the original Scandinavian tube system that changed tube fly tying world wide forever. The foundation of the system is the original coloured tubing that comes in four sizes. To balance the fly, to create different profiles and to fish at different depths we offer several types of cones and weighted tubes, all in three sizes. FITS is all you need to make any tube fly swim like nothing you’ve seen before. And remember – There’s only one original!

 

FITS Original Tubing

NEW

Poly Tubes

This is the original, the tubing that Mikael Frödin and Håkan Norling have used since the early 80’s. This is the tubing that changed the use and looks of tube flies forever. It’s adapted to all kinds of modern tube flies, more flexible and durable than any other tubing material. The tubing comes in four diameters; XS fits in M and S in L. 19 different colours in four diameters give almost endless possibilities. No matter you tie big or small flies, with or without cones, fish loose hook or fixed. There is only one original and the FITS Tubing is simply the best there is!

FITS Brass Turbo Cones

 

 

The original turbo! This is the cone that was made to make the fly swim better than any fly has before. The cone divides the water and creates turbulence that will make your fly move and look alive. With the turbos you can use the softest materials without them collapsing in the current. The fly creates its own little turbulent stream where the materials can move even in the slowest or strongest current. If you believe in a moving and lively fly, then this must be your first choice. The brass turbo gives the fly a broad translucent profile.

 

10 cones in each package.

FITS Brass Turbo Tubes

 

 

 

The TTT – Tungsten Turbo Tube invention hit the salmon tying world with great success. It has been a revolution for flies fished with loose bodies and hooks. . This is yet another of Mikael’s innovations – a feather light tube with effective fishing in focus. The endless color and weight combinations is another step towards the perfect tube fly. Two wallets with TTT and BTT-flies and one with loose bodies of different design gives a super effective way of choosing the right fly for the specific condition. Hover a super light BTT-fly in slow water or get under the waves in the fastest part with TTT. The BTT as well as the TTT is made to create turbulence and open up materials for a translucent fly. Lined with XS FITS tubing, integrated or fished loose hanging. The BTT comes in three feather light sizes: 4, 6 and 8 mm diameter – all in our 17 colors!

FITS Tungsten Cones

 

 

 

This is the Frödin traditional tungsten cone. It may seem like a traditional cone head, not much different from those already available on the market – but they sure are not! These extremely thin tungsten cones have several advantages. The thin design makes them cover more thread and make them a lot easier to tie with. They have the traditional advantage of the weight concentrating properties of standard tungsten cones. The difference is that they balance better in the water for their size. The shape of the cone makes it cut the water nicely and they are very easy to tie with. The regular tungsten cone gives the fly a rather slim profile.

FITS Tungsten Turbo Cones

 

 

 

This is a further development on the original turbo cone. Mikael’s idea on a cone that uses simple physic laws to make the fly swim better than anything ever seen before. The unique idea that has been copied by so many. Mikael has developed a tungsten version that not only opens up your soft fly in a seductive way, it also balances your fly to a perfect swim. Frödin has kept the two smallest popular sizes and added a micro turbo for the smallest summer flies. The combination TTT and micro turbo is a new combo that gives durable super effective fishing flies. The turbo cone gives a fly with a broad translucent profile.

FITS Tungsten Turbo Tubes

 

 

 

Another revolutionary fly tying product from Mikael. The TTT can be used in several different ways. Central is the high specific weight and a design that opens up soft materials without collapsing – all to create that perfect swimming fly. On the TTT you tie on the neck in front of the cone, lean the material against the back of the tube to create the perfect drop formed fly. As simple as genius! For those of you who prefer a lacquered tying thread head – there is enough room for that. If you prefer to finish your fly with a cone, just let it slide down tight in front of the tube. FITS TTT are made to fish with a loose hanging hook, lined with XS Tubing. But is just as good to integrate with M FITS Tubing. If you prefer to fish them loose hanging, M or S FITS Tubing is perfect to use as a short body and hook holder.

SSS Dubbing

The ultimate qualities of dubbing are to create a body that reflects and lets through as much light as possible. Most dubbings have very short strands to fit big flies. If you brush it half of the material will fall off which makes it impossible to get the right luster. The structure of the SSS Dubbing consists of transparent synthetic fibers, dyed and mixed with the SSS Angel Hair blends. The strands of the Angel Hair are cut long enough to enable the brushing without them falling off the body. The 15 color combinations gives you many imaginable variations for everything you tie! SSS Dubbing comes in 15 color blends.

 

Colors: Alta Gold, Charcoal Black, Clear Water Blue, Diamond Pearl, Evil Magenta, Gaudy Green, Hot Highlander Green, Hot Magma Yellow, Hot Orange in Flames, Mikkeli Blue, Nasty Rusty, Octopuzzy Red, Pahtakorva Bronze, Rainbow from Hell, Sealice Silver

SSS Braid

The SSS braids comes in a quality which makes it perfect for all forms of bodies and ribbings. It’s not too thick to overlap or to be twisted.  If a fly needs ribbing, use the same material but twist it into a round or oval form. The harder you twist the smaller flies it fits. It is simple and effective and you can use the same quality for both body and ribbing. The material is placed on a smart gizmo that has a nice end cap that makes the material stay in place. The braids are 2 mm wide and there are 20 feet in each pack. The SSS Braid comes in 15 colors.

SSS Angel Hair

Mikael Frödin uses Angel Hair in almost all his fly creations today. In the smallest flies merely one or two strands of Angel Hair as the only flash element. In the bigger flies  Angel Hair is mixed with a natural hair to create an optimal and appetizing mix. Mikael often made his own mixtures, color combinations to harmonize well with his patterns. It was rather natural for him to start creating his own Angel Hair blends. Mikael has put together 15 different blends where three of them have strongly fluorescent streaks. With these blends you can tie all kinds of creations – from the smallest fly for sunny days to the meanest, biggest fly for the murkiest water. Choosing the right color have never been easier! SSS Angel Hair comes in 15 colors.
