FISH TALES FLY SHOP

The Rod Corner…. (Wayne Posyluzny)

Nancy — Wed, 18 Jan 2012 23:57:41 +0000

We are discontinuing and have marked down all our DanCraft blanks. No Warranty. 50% off. For those of you worried about the warranty – buy 2 of the same model. Good buy for the money. Made in USA.

All remaining Sage Z-Axis single hand blanks are now 50% off. Full warranty. Great Value!

We’ve received our Bellinger order. – We have some of the discontinued ULSW (uplocking saltwater reel seats) mortised barrel Delrin Locking inserts. Unprecedented value. I have yet to find a better saltwater reel insert.

For those of you who like to turn your own inserts we have a fine selection of Nickel Silver hardware only.
We’ve also recently received our shipment of epoxys. For those of you looking to try a new one Bullards Diamond II is one worth trying. It has thin viscosity, long working time, and an exceptionally clear and hard finish virtually elminates foot checking.

We alo recently received a new shipment of Cork and Burl rings.

If there’s anything you would like us to get or need to know give us a call or email.
