Future Fly Predator Needle XL
The Future Fly Predator Needle XL is a specialized tying needle designed for creating large tube flies on the Future Fly Predator Tube 4.6 mm system. It has been specifically developed for oversized pike and other predator patterns, providing exceptional tube stability even when applying heavy thread tension to materials such as bucktail, synthetic fibers, and large feathers.
The needle is manufactured from high-quality hardened tool steel, offering outstanding rigidity and resistance to bending. Its specially machined profile securely grips the tube, preventing slipping or rotation while tying. The kit also includes an adapter, allowing the needle to be used with the Future Fly Tubevise as well as with the jaws of most standard fly tying vises.
