Ribs1 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2007 I finally received my order from them. It took a while and I was worried but it was well worth the wait. I ordered about $60 worth of stuff, and it is a lot of stuff. I guess I don't mind the slow shipping since the stuff is dirt cheap. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kayakfish 0 Report post Posted April 30, 2007 :headbang: I use all of their products and love them , they carry very good productsand the prices can not be beaten, yes they are a small at home manufacturer, and yes they do get behind sometimes but they usually make it up to you if that happens. As a new fly tier I try to keep enough supplies on hand to always have some exspecially the synthetics that wont get brittle, like the feathers do sometimes. The dubbing is excellent, all of them, and their synthetics are wonderfull to like I said I use and have all of them, in every color and consistancy, so if you have questions on a material they carry and what you are going to use it for I would be glad to answer any questions.

Guest Report post Posted June 5, 2007 Kayakfish, what is the glassweb like? I'm getting ready to order and talked to the guys there, but I still can't think of what the glass web is like. Are there any other commercial products like this? I"ll order some just to see what its like. Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kayakfish 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2007 The Glass web is like a real fine Micro Flash, I use it a lot in the tying of minnow imatations, and other flies that need that extra sparkle but not too much. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kayakfish 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2007 The glass web is like a really fine Ultra fine flash, use it where ever you need extra flash but not so much as to detract from the pattern. Love their dubbing too, great big bags of it and you wont be sorry. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flykid 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2007 Ya, delivery times can vary sometimes its quick, sometimes it takes forever. The materials are great quality. As long as your in no hurry to get the stuff, they're great to order from. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flykid 0 Report post Posted June 15, 2007 Kayakfish, I have a lot of baby bug wrap, what do you like to use it for? I especially like their skeeter fuzz dubbing. It dubs super easy and doesn't build up too fast. FTD is great for a kid like me cuz I don't always have a bunch of extra money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flykid 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2007 I was just looking around their site again today. Is the congo hair similar to E.P. fibers? Sorry for all the questions I'm just trying to get familiar with what to use their materials for. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
