ScienceGuy141 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2023 Lots of good options for online fly shops. Buying tools online is pretty safe as long as the tools are name brand. There isn't much variability item to item for tools like there is when purchasing natural materials. Some tiers really obsess over scissors and specialty fly tying scissors can be pretty expensive. Dr. Slick all purpose scissors or fiskars with a fine tip are good options and run 10-12 bucks. Loon all purpose scissors are similar and just a touch more expensive at around 15-16 bucks. There thread is worth the read when considering online options. https://www.flytyingforum.com/index.php?/topic/101623-good-free-shipping-deals/ After reading about Little River Outfitters having free shipping on all orders, I gave them a try and was very pleased with the service and quality of materials they sent. A few places I've ordered from and been pleased: JStockard Little River Outfitters Avidmax Fly fish food Jann's Netcraft Hook and Hackle Slide Inn FishUSA If your "local" shop has a website, that can be a good option too. Ive found many small shops love getting phone calls from customers to place orders. It also gives you a chance to specify what you're looking for, and it seems like they really go out of their way to get you the best they can offer if you call. You could also reach out to Blue Line Fly Co. The guys that started the company are from Alabama but have moved out to Salt Lake City. They have some great YouTube videos too - including some smallmouth bass fishing in Alabama. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
