FLY TYING VARNISHES, GLUES, WAXES & COLOURS
THE PERFECT FINISH FOR LONG-LASTING FLIES
The final finish is often what transforms a well-tied fly into a durable, professional-quality pattern. Glues, varnishes, UV resins, waxes and colours do far more than simply improve appearance. They protect delicate materials, increase durability, permanently secure critical tying points and create the precise finish that can make all the difference on the water.
In this category, you'll find premium UV glues, powerful UV lights, versatile glues & varnishes, specialised dubbing wax and fly marker felt pens for colouring and customising your fly patterns.
SECURE, SEAL AND REINFORCE
Many fly patterns only reach their full potential once they have been properly sealed. High-quality glues and varnishes protect tying thread, secure whip finishes, reinforce fly bodies and prevent materials from loosening after repeated casting or multiple fish. At the same time, they create smooth, professional-looking finishes that enhance both durability and appearance.
Depending on the application, products are available in different viscosities, allowing precise application to everything from tiny thread heads to larger coated surfaces. This makes it easy to achieve clean, reliable results on virtually any fly pattern.
UV GLUES AND UV LIGHTS HAVE TRANSFORMED FLY TYING
Modern UV glues are among the most significant innovations in contemporary fly tying. They remain fully workable until exposed to the beam of a suitable UV light, where they cure completely within just a few seconds. This gives fly tyers exceptional control when building transparent heads, durable coatings and complex body shapes.
Many modern fly patterns, including the famous Perdigon nymphs, would hardly be possible without UV resins. They are equally valuable for streamers, saltwater flies, shrimp patterns and countless other flies that require transparency, strength and a perfectly smooth finish.
MORE GRIP, MORE COLOUR, MORE CREATIVITY
Even the smallest accessories can have a major impact at the tying bench. Dubbing wax improves the grip of fine dubbing fibres on the tying thread, making it much easier to create neat, consistent bodies. This is especially beneficial when tying delicate dry flies and small nymphs where precision is essential.
With fly marker felt pens, flies can be customised in just a few seconds. Colour gradients, wing cases, gill spots and highly visible hotspots can be added directly to a wide range of materials, allowing individual patterns to be fine-tuned to changing water conditions, light levels or fish behaviour.
SMALL TOOLS THAT MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE
Many of these products only reveal their true value after you've tied a number of flies. They simplify important tying steps, significantly improve durability and open up entirely new possibilities for creating modern fly patterns. Often, it is these finishing touches that elevate a good fly into an exceptional one.
Whether you're tying classic dry flies, durable nymphs, modern Perdigons or large streamers, premium varnishes, glues, waxes and colours provide the perfect finishing touch while ensuring your flies retain their shape, strength and effectiveness throughout countless days on the water.
