Scissors are one of the more important parts of your fly tying tool set. Every day I get a new tier asking what they need to start tying besides a vice. Most people ask what kit to get, however I do not recommend getting full kits because some of the tools and materials might not be useful to you. It is best to get these items individually. Scissors are not excluded from this. Most of the kit scissors are low quality, unless your willing to pay good money for the kit. Instead, look for good quality scissors in the shape and size best suited for your type of tying. If all you are going to be tying is large saltwater or pike flies, then maybe a 4.5" hair scissor is the only one you need. Or if you will only be tying tiny dry flies, then the small spring style scissors will be all you need. But for most of us, having a couple different kinds of scissors can be beneficial as well.
This guide goes over each style and size of scissor and what their uses are for fly tying.

Early on I bought some nice scissors and it has helped out so much

@McFlyAngler 2 года назад

Yes, a good pair of scissors is a must I think.

@mattlittle3330 Год назад

Fiskars 5" Microtip are my favorite. Fiskars makes a sharpener for them and I usually give it 4 swipes before I start tying. I am on year 2 of these scissors and I tie almost every day. I use Dr. Slick Arrow point (they have the built in wire cutter) and a razor blade for everything else. Keep your scissors away from GSP, super glue, resin, cement, and obviously wire and lead and they will last.

@McFlyAngler Год назад

For sure, all great stuff, I gotta check out the sharpener for it, where you get that?

@Ayden_W 2 года назад

Perhaps you could also do certain materials in these videos, things like different kinds of hackle, dubbing, etc. Good video as usual.

@McFlyAngler 2 года назад

Very good information for beginners. I would really like to see you do a video on bobbins next. L 👍🎣👍

@McFlyAngler 2 года назад

Ok I will look into it. So far ive had a few people suggest some stuff, I think bobbins was from one person also. I will try to do one of these each month.

@joeg5414 2 года назад

I started tying again recently and got a cheap $3 pair of Colorado angler (I believe thats the brand) scissors. Within an hour I was headed back out to get the expensive dr. Slick razor tip scissors. 100 times better. Get good scissors.

@McFlyAngler 2 года назад

I agree man. A good pair of scissors is just as valuable as a good vice

@justinjdavis79 2 года назад

Thanks for the video!! It helps alot!! Thinking about getting in tying!!

@michiganfisher9253 2 года назад

Very helpful video. I just have shitty 4inch off brand scissors and i can tell that they are getting very dull. Gonna have to get me a pair of those risens.

@McFlyAngler 2 года назад

You will live the risen scissors, much better than those junky foreign brands. I had a pair of scissors made in Pakistan once, and they lasted like 4 months, i couldn’t cut anything with them

@michiganfisher9253 2 года назад

Have had my scissors for like 6 months and they are garbage. Can hardly cut 70 denier 😭😭🤣

@McFlyAngler 2 года назад

Yeah, not so with risen or dr slick. I tie 100’s of flies a month, and I’ve now had my dr slicks for 1.5 years and Risen’s for 1 year, and they both still cut like crazy. I’ve actually used more of the Risen’s and they don’t dull. I mean over time I’m sure they will, but they last much much longer than the junk.

@richieg8432 2 года назад

I have a resin issue. I started using the same stuff you use,Solarez. I also bought the same UV light you suggested. I was under the impression that Solarez dries with no tackiness. This is not the result I am getting..there is definitely tackiness and if you give it a little squeeze,my fingerprints are left in the resin.The battery is fully charged,I see wisps os smoke while curing,,don’t understand why it’s tacky. I bought Solarez to avoid having to use alcohol,or Sally Hansen. I am disappointed,any idea why this is happening?

@McFlyAngler 2 года назад

Are you using the flex formula? If not how long are you curing? You need more time with the thicker formulas or the color resins, and definitely a lot more time with the flex. Thin cures very quick. With the thick formula I need a good 30 seconds to a minute for smaller drops of resin, if I’m building up a big body or something then even more. Flex I find with that light that isn’t the new solarez light, that it does seem to take forever. I generally finish curing in the sun. However solarez new light with the purple cap seems to cure it much quicker. The one I recommended before was a bit less expensive so it helped many people get into using the products but I’ve found over time that the thicker formulas do seem to take a bit longer to tie. Solarez has told me The wavelengths must be a bit different and won’t cure quite as quickly

@richieg8432 2 года назад

@@McFlyAngler No,not flex.not colored ,Thick and Thin mixed. I had no idea a cure could take up to 30 seconds,, most videos I see,it seems like they are well under 10 seconds.Solarez said my light should be fine since it puts out at least 390Nm of light. Seems like they tell different people different things.Now that you said it could take 30-60 seconds depending,, I guess that could be my issue.
