United StatesI love the product, but we don’t have a shop near by that carries them. So I ordered online, unfortunately the package was lost. Fair Flies resent the products to me and now I am ready to tie. Thanks Fair Flies!
United StatesFirst let my preface my response by saying I’m a novice steelhead fly tier!! I have struggled trying to make compound dubbing loops over the past month. A very accomplished steelhead tier ( 40 years of experience- sort of my mentor in this endeavor) in Oregon introduced me to these 5d brushes- all I can say is that they are awesome!!! I tied up my first several steelhead flies this past week - the 5d brush not only simplified the process but more importantly made me look like a rock star with regards to how nice and professional my flies looked!!! Again I don’t have a ton of experience to draw from- but I would highly recommend these brushes to everyone. They are very reasonably priced , look terrific, and 1-2 turns around a hook shank( or tube) add a small fur collar and possibly a bead and you have a steelhead fish magnet for a fly. I liked them so much I ordered 4 other colors- steely blue/ purple, steely black purple, steely shrimp pink/ lavender and anchovy white/blue / black Bob
United StatesCan't beat these brushes. Great color combos and material!
United StatesSo far I have not fished this fly but I did tie up a number using this brush. It is a great color and maybe a little less bulky (which is ok) than at least some of the other 5D’s so it is pretty easy to wrap maybe one and a half or two wraps and you’re good to go. I tied some up on tubes. Hot spot of pink dubbing, maybe 1/2” of the Longartun shiny blue braid then the turns of the brush and top it off with some of the Fly Fur or some dubbed rabbit. Can’t wait to try out the fly. It handles well during tying. Might have to do some minor trimming (or not…) Good Stuff.
United StatesUsed this brush in conjunction with body tubing to tie three 10" Pike/Musky flies and this was by far the easiest time I have ever had building bulk and creating a light weight fly.
Thank you Jake for your review! We are so glad that you like our brushes, and we can't wait to see what you tye next. -The Fair Flies Team
