"A couple pair of scissors" and "a couple bobbin holders"? My wife would have liked me to stop with only that many. 😂 Thanks for the review, Matt!

@SavageFlies 3 года назад

Ha! As far as my wife knows, that's all I have too. The cool thing about fly tying materials and tools, I can order a lot and she just sees the small package arrive. I recall a couple of times spending a small fortune on an order and the package is small enough to fit in my mailbox! Who would have thought that two hundred dollars worth of hooks will fit in an envelope? Oh well... such is the life of a fly tying addict. :-) Thanks for the laugh Todd...

@leemowers9395 3 года назад

Matt, I agree with you on the bobbin threader, any bobbin large enough to stick that one through, I can suck the thread through with my mouth. The hackle plyers look great. The pad on the bottom of the hair stacker dampens the shock that stacks the hair, so I prefer no pad. Most scissors that fail to cut is because I drop them. The whip finish tool looks good, the one I have works well, I have been whip finishing more by hand especially if there are lots of materials in the way. As for the bodkin, I have been using some micro crochet hooks for many tasks I used to use the bodkin for, I spent $10 for about a dozen at a garage sale. Thanks for the tool review and the give-away. cheers my friend. Have you fished at all on Back Creek near Gore VA. Thanks Matt.

@SavageFlies 3 года назад

Exactly right Lee! That's something I haven't talked about but have done plenty of times myself-- sucking the thread through the tube. :-) And one other method if you're traveling and forgot the threader, just use some UTC ultra wire. I've done that a few times too. My first bodkin was one of my mom's sewing needles taped to a pencil. Regarding Back Creek, I've never fished it but I go through Winchester on the way to my farm in western Maryland. I don't get all the way to Gore, but just after Winchester I head north up through Paw Paw and my farm is just across the WV/MD border. So is Back Creek worth stopping by? I could probably stop for a couple hours someday when I'm heading out...

@themazamen 3 года назад

Hmm, a pet bunny or a periodic dubbing source? 😊 great channel Matt and thanks for the effort you go through. One can never have enough bobbins. I'm up to 5 and I wish I had more. Also funny that you prefer form on the bottom of your stacker. A couple tyers have recommended to me to strip off the cork. Says it absorbs too much energy and impedes the stacking process.

@SavageFlies 3 года назад

I've heard that too about the foam or cork on the bottom of your stacker. I've never noticed a difference but might have to start paying attention to it. And I have so many rabbits but most of this last litter are the black and white Dutch breed. (And they're too cute to make dubbing out of!)

@SavageFlies 3 года назад

Oh man, I have some bunny stories. Mostly in two outdoor colonies, separated with male and females. But they're all the time digging out and sneaking across to get to the other pen. I eventually gave up so I have two females living free range in my back wood shed. Then a male got out and these two does have both had litters. I bring the babies in as soon as I can catch them (or else the wildcats and foxes will get them). I couldn't bear to make dubbing out of these little guys so I'll keep them inside with me until they're old enough to take to the Amish farmer's market. Fun times on the Savage Flies farm. :-)

Thanks James, and yes it's a solid kit. And not just for a beginner, some of the tools are pretty good!

@jarend65 3 года назад

Great review Matt. I would agree that the whip finish tool is a good one. The handle is a little larger than generic ones but yet not too big to handle. I am spoiled with my Rite and Stonfo bobbins. I would have a hard time using anything else.

@SavageFlies 3 года назад

Thanks Jon- and I'm with you 100% there. I like my Stonfo but it takes me some tweaking to get the right tension so it's a great one to put a spool in it, get it adjusted, and not have to mess with until you use all the thread. I think the Rite bobbins are better if you do a lot of thread change outs. But you know the one I've found myself going to more and more this past year? It's the C&F. It's not sold at a lot of places but this thing has been a champ for me. I got mine from Bearsden I think (www.bearsden.com/product8908.html). A bit pricey so I only have one, but man do I like it. :-)

@FlyTyer1948 3 года назад

Interesting info on the costs. I recommend against using any wire for threading bobbin holders. I scratched up the inside of the tubes of 2 of my bobbin holders with wire threader. Buy some dental floss threaders (very cheap) to thread bobbin holders. They are very good for all holders & especially for those with narrow tubes like on the Rite bobbins. I now use those 2 scratched up bobbin holders to hold & apply my non-lead weighting wire. Note to Matt, that would be a good use for that Not so favorite bobbin holder.

@SavageFlies 3 года назад

Bob- excellent tips! Someone else mentioned the dental floss threaders. I'm going to have to look into them. And an even better idea about using these Umpqua bobbin holders for wire wraps. I doubt I'll be using them much in my regular tying so I might as well repurpose them for something. Thanks for the note!

@FlyTyer1948 3 года назад

@@SavageFlies I hold the very tip of the wire in EZ-Hackle Pliers, wrap the wire using the unloved bobbin holder to making touching turns going forward just as I would do with thread, & then wiggle the wire to snap it off cleanly. I recommend holding hold the hook just before the snap-off point & holding the wire directly, just beyond the end of the end of the bobbin holder so the holder tip doesn’t get damaged. Then remove the hackle pliers & complete the wrap there. It’s faster & creates almost no wasted wire.

@communicationiskey- Год назад

Good video! Wanted to try a new fly tying toy and got the Umpqua Dreamstream+ Whip Finish Tool. Something I do not understand, what is that piece of metal sticking out at the end of handle used for? Also, in comparison to others whips there is not way to hold the whip sturdy and not spinning at the beginning of the whip setup.

I use the line straightener (the leather patch with rubber inside it) for straightening my leaders quite often. And I do have the line dressing/cleaner tool but have only used it once. It worked fine and I should probably clean my line more often, but I'm generally too lazy to do it. :-)

If you're talking about this one ( amzn.to/3a03oFt ) I haven't actually tried it out. But just looking at it online right now, I think it's a decent kit. The scissors look solid, the bobbin holder does appear to have a ceramic tip (a plus), and it does have a Matarelli whip finish tool. But I also like the XFishman one as well ( amzn.to/3A4ELSK ).

@sinelocum 2 года назад

Thank you for creating these reviews. I’m new to this hobby and these are quite useful discussions. I’d love to see a review series on products made in the US. I’m just interested in American-made products for my own reasons, and it has nothing to do with politics or other peoples’ beliefs. I know there’s a lot of folks out there who support slavery, state-sponsored genocide, censorship, and the myriad human rights violations perpetuated by the PRC against the good people of Chinese and Tibet. For some the abduction, and possible execution, of a young, Chinese female tennis player is acceptable if it keeps the price of braid scissors under $5, and matchbox cars under $1 each at the Walmart. Others of us don’t mind paying a little more if it means the fruits of our labor aren’t supporting crimes against humanity. Just as a small mountain spring flows down joining other brooks and creeks to become mighty rivers that fill oceans, perhaps one day small decisions at the margin will swell into powerful forces of positive change. Perhaps; but today I’m just looking for a solid, American-made setup for tying flies and catching fish. Thank you for your reviews.

I bought two kits with cases. They never go back in the case.

Yeah, that sounds about right Ray! I suppose for someone who traveled a lot they might use the case but my tools are pretty much always sitting on my bench. :-)

LOL hope your BUNNY doesn't feel your eyes upon her fur and mistake your affection for simply an attempt to obtain fly tying materials!

Ha! I've got so many rabbits right now... but haven't been able to bring myself to make dubbing out of any of them yet. :-)

Never tried their tools before. #bunny

@SavageFlies 3 года назад

Thanks for watching George. They're pretty solid (even though I'd probably skip the bobbin holder and go with a Rite bobbin.)

Always need new tools #bunny

@SavageFlies 3 года назад

Kurt- I got your picture. Just in time too as I'm about to do the drawing. :-)

@philipvankampen3394 3 года назад

Yeah, the price point is too high. It would make a good travel kit though which is why I'm going to say, #bunny

@SavageFlies 3 года назад

Yep, for 80 bucks I would have expected a bit more. Overall it's solid, but after really considering it I think new tiers can get a little more bang for their buck by picking and choosing.
