TMC 200R - These hooks are spot-on for the pattern I wanted to tie.

FM Razor Tungsten Carbide Scissors - Not bad for the money. They are a bit on the big side when tying nymphs or dries,. Perfect for bigger flies where getting in super close isn't needed. Would be so much better if they were 4". Very sharp, and I'm sure they will stay that way for some time.

Brilliant service - Excellent service, great price. Delivery to UK was fast and efficient - very impressed

Zen Euro - Knowing the Primal rods, I thought the Zen would be a cheap yet good way to try Euro( I’ve been fishing for nearly 50 years) fishes like a rod four times it price, handled 4-5lb browns in fast water well and so sensitive I can feel difference between bottom contact and gentle takes, throughly recommend.

Orvis Pro Boots - What amazing boots. Recommended by Steve so I bought sight unseen. Very light compared to my old Symms Guide boot and are super comfortable.
