It is still under development. Besides, the plastic I used would soften in Florida's heat.

A 3-D printed reel with drag that I designed. I haven't fished it yet, but anxious to try it out on my 4 wt. It will never compete with a metal reel, but fun to make anyway.

Here are some I 3-D printed. The pieces that hold the flys and streamers are printed separately from flexible material and glued in place where needed.

All of those that I don't fish very often.

I usually fish a soft hackle behind a streamer. I caught my biggest trout on a soft hackle fished 24" behind a white woolly bugger being stripped. I also fit them under an indicator with both the drop-shot method and conventionally.

Whoops, wrong picture above. I meant this one.

This one is my favorite. I designed and had made the jaws and arm. Everything else is from a Peak vise.

Here is another one I made, with the help of a Peak vise.

The jaws were 3-D printed with bronze impregnated stainless steel.

This is my biggest feather thief.

I just change the name to a "cripple".

Video show how it could be done with forceps or hackle pliers.

Build your own rod. It's even more satisfying than fly tying.
