Full Fly Fishing Gift Guide [2024]
Fly tiers are a particular bunch, and shopping for them can be confusing! This somewhat daunting task can leave you wondering "What are the best fly tying gifts?"
We are here to help! Below, we complied a list of some of the best gifts for a fly tyer. If you or your loved has tied for years or is just getting started, there will be a fly tying gift idea for them.
Umpqua ZS2 Traveler Fly Tying Kit Bag Olive
Carrying tying materials when traveling can be critical! Small details like size and color can be the difference between catching fish and not! I sometimes like to carry the basics for fly tying when I travel, but this bag fits it all! The Kit Bag’s ample storage places leaves room for any material you can think of. Plastic tubes for flash, large pouch for bucktails, and slots for dubbing packs- you name it; this bag has a spot for it.
Hareline Mega Tying Pad
Your desk will thank you! If you tie like I do, you spill, scrape, and thwack your desk in the heat of fly tying. Fear not! The Mega Tying Pad from Hareline will help protect your desk or bench from the mishmash of fly tying.
“This catches all the epoxy I spill and the material I drop. Especially tying with beads, it catches beads before they roll of my table.”
-Sam Reibman TCO Employee and Enthusiastic Tyer
Renzetti Soft Foam Tool Caddy
The Renzetti Tool Caddy is a must-have for any tier. The soft foam holds its place on any surface and keeps your tools tightly stored, but easily accessed.
Renzetti Tool Bar
“Where’s my whip finish?”
“Where did I put my scissors?”
“I coulda sworn my bobbin was around here somewhere?”
Imagine having all of the tying tools right by your side! The Tool Bar would make a great gift for someone who just started tying or the tyer who has everything. Organization pieces like this help facilitate the tying process for all skill levels.
Renzetti Cam Traveler 2000 Series Vise
The Renzetti Cam Traveler 2000 is hands down the best vise for the money. If you, or someone you are shopping for, is looking to upgrade their vise, consider this vise from Renzetti. It lands within a nice price range, and it just works. I have tied on one for several years now, and it has withstood loads of abuse. I previously tied on a vise from Amazon, and the difference between the two vises is remarkable, and I see no need to upgrade from my current vise. If you are looking to give this item as a gift, make sure you know if they are left or righthanded!
Dr. Slick Fly Tying Gift Sets
These gift sets are designed for the tyer that already has everything! These sets by Dr. Slick have an old-school, classical ‘soul’ feel and look to them. These tools are super fancy, and almost more of a collectors piece! These kits include a small, protective carrying case.
