Hello,
Here is my method for using brass tubes for Scandi tubes. It allows me to tie on the brass tube, keeping the fly very strong while achieving a small head....
I file down the brass tube to a 45 degree angle with a metal file. This is similar to cutting the 3mm outer tube at a angle. The fly is tied then in the same manner, achieving a nice small head and being able to use of cones/discs to finish.
Without filing down the brass tube, the change in diameters is too abrupt to have a nice head/finish.
