I have a problem with dye leaching into other flies. mainly happens with my blobs and black marrabou.
Anyone know how to stop this from happening.

seems the fritz i bought is not dye fast... and i bought it from a reputable dealer which i cannt mention mmmmm

The blobs fade fast , they look fantastic for 2 outings and then look cr^p anyone else have this problem or can recommend a decent competition fritz

Had the same probs with my marabou, sunburst goes a pishy yellow after its been in the water, black and red bleed into other materials! all the marabou colours fade after being fished but the stronger colours are the worst.

bought from the same guy...... oh well. litigation etc ... no names mentioned i wander....


The stuff looked great at the time i got to admit but opening my fly box and the uv is gone on 90% of the blobs i tied not happy. especially now some are half red and half black!!!

the worst thing is that the bloody foam in the fly box is also dyed so even if i check out the sh^T flies the dye is still in the foam . had a few drys i noticed that were
went to by a red ginger go half tone on me ie black and a horrible grey.......

ah and the "sunburst goes a pishy yellow" more like a fade into into nothing ie a horrible algae colour that looks like ...... well lets just say if the cat vomited it would look a better colour!!!

sorry for the rant lads but i just seen 12 hours of fly tying down the drain not to mention materials i gotta think what to do with.. yeah the bin is too good a place!

please please let me know a good seller of comp fritz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the worst thing is i wish i could warn others as its a bloody pain trying flies you just going to bin in a few weeks/months time.

Here is an example of what has happened to mine, i have loads like this

Top fly is unused, bottom has been fished once.
