Has anyone ever done business with saltwaterflies? Pros and cons?
Thanks

Default No problem

Good company. Only dealt with them on 2 occasions, but, both times they went out of thier way to make me happy. No worries about buying from them.

I buy most of my supplies from Chris and I've had nothing but great service from him and prompt delivery to me in Australia within 7 days. Now thats good from there to here and quality goods aswell .

Chris is da bomb... extremely helpful, generous with information, lightning fast service... it don't get any better than this.

YMMV - but I doubt it will!

I haven't dealt with his company...but I have fished with Chris a couple of times and he's a decent guy. I can't imagine his company being anything less than first class. I have used his E-Z Shape Sparkle Body product in the past and it makes a great epoxy like fly (I coat mine with a little epoxy)...I've been on a different kick recently as far as tying flies-but I'd use that stuff again for that type of application.

As an aside, I've also used that product to 'paint' the two ends of a dumbell eye for my clousers. Once again, I don't do that anymore because I'm not sure it's worth that (small amount) of extra effort. But it sure looks good.

Thumbs up

I'd been considering that as a way of adding 'eyes' to clousers- I'll give it a try.

Sparkle Body works well - I epoxy the Epoxy Minnow Pattern over the EZ Shape material. The Sand Eels (according to Chris) goe without.
