Tying Materials

[krally 0]

Hello, I'm new to tying, and looking for some advise on the best places to purchase material online. I dont have many stores by me except the big chain stores, and the Orvis by me just quit selling tying material. I picked up a Renzetti traveler vise new for $90 because Orvis was selling all material for %50 off! I tried finding material on a few websites and found that I had to use multiple sites to locate even some pretty common material, certain threads, wire, chenille, etc. Any advise?

Online I mostly bought from Hook and Hackle, though I got to the point where I've got lots of material on hand for the little bit I still tie.

I've never been able to find a single online store who carried everything I use on a consistent basis.

 

In order to avoid buying dribbles here and dabbles there, I picked the nearest reputable full service shop

and put together a big enough order to interest them in handling a custom order for me. It has worked

well for me the two times I've used this method. But it might not work well if you are in a big

hurry for something.

Try Cabelas, they have necks on sale right now. Feather-Craft has a good selection

i wish it were true, but there is no "BEST" mother of all online fly shops to buy tying materials.

 

i deal with a few major online shops for my materials, j stockard being one of them

 

however j stockard is starting to be a sore spot in my online buying. when it takes over 8 days to go from one side of connecticut to the other side (about 99 miles), its time to exercise other options

If I had a fly shop that close to me 99miles I would go get my stuff personally!!

the same thing happened to me, usually it takes 3 or 4 days to get to my house in new york, but i just ordered some hooks and a couple other things, and more than a week, and i still don't have them.

if j stockard was a brick and mortar store, i would get it myself. but you did know they were mail order only!

I've made several orders from J Stockard and also from Bear's Den. My last order from JStockard never arrived and they were very good about refunding my money. Scott and his staff at THe Bear's Den are nice people and ship your material fast plus they will only charge you the actual postage cost so if you need a small order, you won't get hit with a $5.00 shipping charge.

 

I've made a few orders from the guy at The Fly Tyers Dungeon too.

Feather Craft, JS and The Fly Shop seem to carry all i need, fish 307 carries nice lure tape and eyes

I like Hook and Hackle too, they give discounts if you order online.

 

But I only use them for my bulk "general" purposes like hooks, beads and thread.

 

I've had a few pieces of deer hair and marabou that came from them that isn't what I would pick out for myself if I were buying them at a store.

 

But, you can't beat their price on most stuff.
