During our zoom class on fly tying we discussed the best way to weight hooks. One of our sponsors, Firehole Outdoors, has come up with an interesting weighting system for hooks. Check out their website link at the end of this “Fly Shop” blog.
Firehole Outdoors Hook-Based Weight Management System
Firehole Outdoors is pleased to announce the availability of the world’s first hook-based weight management system for the fly tying/fishing industry.
Under development for the better part of five years, I am happy to present to you a system designed to give the fly tyer an easy and precise method to weight their flies. This system incorporates three components; a tungsten bead, a brass bug band, and a tungsten tear drop body. With nearly 600 available weight combinations ranging from 0.02 grams to 1.58 grams, the tyer is able to create the right combination for their specific needs.
As you might imagine there is a lot to talk about with this system. To keep this email short and clean I have created an informational page as well as downloadable PDF documentation to explain the details, usage, and components. You can view the information and download the files by clicking the button below. I really encourage you to take a few minutes to read this document.
Also, the 4.5mm ROUND tungsten stone has been released as part of this entire program. Note that the 4.5mm ROUND tungsten bead is offered in forty (40) piece packaging in order to maintain the same pricing across all sizes.
| As always, thank you for being part of what we are doing here at Firehole Outdoors. Deb and I appreciate you! All the best, Joe |
