Tight Lines. We are committed to bringing you the finest
materials for tying saltwater flies, and we are proud of our high quality products and fast, friendly service. If you have any questions regarding
the selection of saltwater fly tying materials, give us a shout!
We have organized our fly tying catalog into two pages - Page 1 features all of the Saltwater Hooks
and Threads that we carry, and Page 2 features all other fly tying items.
please be patient and allow each page to load completely the first time you access it - it may take a minute or two
(with 56K modem)...approximately 10 seconds with a high speed connection.
All of our fly tying materials are selected for quality and value. These are the same
materials that are used to produce many of the flies
that you see in the pages of Saltwaterflies.Com. Although many of these materials are also useful for freshwater tiers, we
feel that this is the first catalog designed specifically with the saltwater tier in mind.
We are adding photos of our products to the catalog pages as often as we
can. Items with a blue text link shown in the description, or a blue dot
feature a photo - click on the links and blue dots for related photos. We welcome your comments and suggestions
about these pages. View the catalog from start to finish to see all of the products. The
navigation bar shown below will quickly take to you specific products or groups of products.
The navigation bars work best if you allow the page to load fully once before clicking on links
within the bar. For ease of surfing, if you click on an "Add to Cart" link, use the "Back" button
on your browser to return to the part of the page you were looking at.
This page (Page 1) contains all of our saltwater fly Hooks, Tying Thread, Eyes, and Tools.

Varivas 990 Series hooks: Japanese made Varivas 990S series
carbon and stainless steel hooks represent the ultimate in sharpness. With a unique modern
design, these hooks are serious business! Designed by IGFA fly rod world record holding angler
Eizo Maruhashi, with high-power carbon used for extra strength - you can hook and land large
hard-fighting fish like tarpon and sailfish. The unique rust-resistant finishes keep
the hooks sharp and shiny. The hook gap on these hooks is sized slightly larger than traditional hooks; hook gap on
a #4 is comparable to a #2 on traditional styles. 25 hooks/pack. Note:
no new stock of these hooks has been available from the manufacturer for some time now,
and we have very limited quantities remaining. We're sorry we can't say how much longer
the Varivas styles will be available for.

Varivas 990 Carbon The following report is from The Gold Cup
Tournament 2000, where qualifying fish were tarpon over 5ft long, and in excess of 60lbs:
Using the new VARIVAS
990 hooks, the popular Japanese tarpon tournament champion, Eizo Maruhashi had "takes"
from seven fish during the tournament, and amazingly landed five. The astonished
Eizo says "these hooks are unbelievable - the penetrating power is awesome...even against
the armour-plated mouth of the tarpon." T. Patrick Ford Jr., chairman of the Golden Fly Invitational Tarpon Tournament reported:
"During the (Golden Fly) tournament, I had eight bites and caught seven fish which is very rare in
tarpon fishing. Usually, landing one in ten is a good ratio. I truly believe that the
VARIVAS 990 Carbon is the best tarpon hook I have ever used."

Gamakatsu SL12 Bluewater Fly Hook The SL12 Bluewater fly hook by
Gamakatsu is an excellent choice for all sorts of flies for medium to large sized saltwater
gamefish. This is the hook for offshore decievers / bucktails, Trey Comb's Sea Habit type
flies, and most larger streamers. As best as we can determine, this is the same hook
as the Trey Combs Big Game hook, which is also made by
Gamakatsu, but distributed by Spirit River. One item of note; there is a size #1/0
available in the SL12 series, a notable omission from the Trey Combs series.

Gamakatsu SL45 Bonefish Hook New from Gamakatsu in
2003 is the SL45 bonefish fly hook. Straight eye, forged, sproat bend, with a black
finish, the SL12 is nicely balanced for bonefish flies. According to Gamakatsu, "the size 10 is
small enough for those really finicky Bones but the 2x strong high carbon steel shank is strong
enough to keep them out of the mangroves once they’re hooked." We suggest caution if
you plan to be fishing over a lot of rocky bottoms, or when fishing for very large bones - this
is still a light wire hook when compared to traditional styles. This hook is super sharp.
Per pack quantities: #10: 15/pack; #8-#4: 12/pack. All sizes $3.50/pack.

Gamakatsu Live Bait (Light Wire) with Ring: Gamakatsu's Live
Bait Light Wire with Ring is one of our new favorites for tube flies. To rig these for a
tube fly, just double the end of the tippet with a surgeon's loop, insert the loop through
the tube, then loop-to-loop onto the ring of these hooks. These hooks feature
a solid ring welded to the eye (not a split ring). No snelling, and the doubled line
helps prevent chafe inside the tube when landing tough fish. We have been using these
hooks successfully now for two seasons on tubes for bonito and little tunny, and they are far
and away our first choice now for small tube flies. Slightly offset bend hooks and holds fish
well. Smallest sizes would be very nice for some freshwater tubes, medium and large sizes for
salmon, steelhead, bonito, etc. These are not overly large hooks; the #1 is approximately
3/4" (2.1cm) long. For really tough fish, try the Live
Bait with Ring shown below. All sizes $6.95/pack.

Thread
We offer several kinds of thread for different applications.
Ultra Thread is a new favorite - the most popular size of
this thread (UTC 140) is smaller in size than the Danville "Flat Waxed Nylon"
that we have used with great success for many years, but has the same "flat" shape,
and seems to be just as strong - we have switched to this thread for much of our
own fly tying, and we have some of the other sizes of UTC thread as well, including the
70, 210, and 280 denier. Regarding the "Denier" sizes: the larger the number, the
thicker the thread, so 140 denier is thicker than 70 denier.
"GSP" or Gel-spun polyethylene is super strong stuff like the earlier
kevlar threads - this is the same material
as the popular modern gel-spun fly line backings and spinning lines.
Danville's Flymaster 6/0 is a small, fine, traditional thread for precision tying.
Fine thread makes for more evenly finished
heads, but it breaks more easily than heavier threads.
Danville's Flymaster Plus (3/0) is a heavy thread used for spinning hair
and anywhere thread buildup is not a consideration.
Danville's Flat Waxed Nylon is good for tiers who need
a strong thread without too much buildup. This thread lies flat, and is
strong enough for spinning hair, or tying very large flies.
Monofilament thread is typically used where it will seem invisible under an
epoxy coating.
If you need a better bobbin for fly tying, please see info on the Supreme Ceramic Bobbin.
