Ya know its funny but the more I thought about this the more I leaned toward the what is the real advantage of this.. like you said all you are changing is the hook size and maybe the color of the cone... like you seems to me it would be easier to grab the same type fly in a different size and tie it on...
The only advantage I have in clips on line is if you are going for steelheads or salmon and you want your hook to ride up instead of down you simply push it into the tube that way...
Now one other thing they indicate is that with a tube fly one the fish hits it and is hooked.. the fly itself seperates from the hook and that saves wear and tear on the fly...
Have to admit I find the qtip thing interesting.. LOL.. white qtips.. permanent marker.. Hmmmmmmmmmmm will wonders never cease.. LOL..
