Material list

[Plodger]

I'm getting a bit tired of buying Lureflash materials at my fishery for tying. It's a bit hit and miss on quality. I usually like to have a look at them before buying but the fishery is the only place around.

Can you recommend where I can buy high quality marabou, artic fox, ice yarn, nano silk bundles, mylar tubing, tinsels and saltwater hooks.

No doubt the list will get longer but I have to start somewhere

Im no expert by any means but Dave Downies Marabou is the best by a mile .
No waste whatsoever and the dye does not come off on your hands when using it .

Another vote for Dave Downie's marabou- really good quality. For other materials its worth getting hold of a few catalogues from the main flytying material suppliers I use Cookshill, Glasgow Angling Centre, Lakeland Flytying and Celtic Flycraft, but there are many more around. I agree with you completely that there is no substitute for seeing the product yourself, but sometimes that is just not possible- hence the catalogues!
