FAQS
To tie essential classic patterns, you’ll need fly-tying hooks, thread, dubbing, tungsten beads, deer and elk hair, feathers, marabou, hackle, tailing wire, fly wire, head cement, and dubbing wax. Find everything you need for essential patterns in our Encounter Kit or Premium Fly-Tying Kit.
Use a fly-tying kit as you would any sort of model or construction kit. Follow the included instructions to assemble the fly pattern you want with the materials and tools provided.
Beginner fly tyers find fly-tying kits to be worth it for their value alone. When you don’t know which tools to get, or which type of tool you prefer, a tying kit includes everything you need to get started, and allows you to build your tying bench from that baseline. Only when you have strong preferences about the types of tools you want, or when you need specialized tools not included in a fly-tying kit, is purchasing one not worth it.
Most fly-tying kits will include a vise, water-based head cement, spooled materials, ceramic bobbin, scissors, a bodkin, a hair stacker, and hackle pliers, plus the materials needed to tie a few popular flies.
