A Pile of Cheap Tenkara Flies
August 22, 2016

Very easy to order, customer service is second to none, fast delivery & great communication. As a beginner in Tenkara, the selection of flies works well on panfish & I anticipate they will do well thru the ice for crappies this winter. When I run through these, i will be sure to order more along with some of Jim's flies.

Professional business with great product
November 11, 2017

Good communication, product looks great. My first outing went great- just two of the kebari patterns simply to test them out. I ended up with several browns despite it being a heavily fished Colorado river. Cant wait to try the kebaris in smaller water, and cant wait to try out the soft hackles.

I was very pleased with the flies I received my only complaint was I had some questions that went unanswered via email. Being new to the sport I just needed a little direction.

Thanks Sharon. I am sorry that I missed your questions. I took another look at your order and email but did not see them. Of course, I just upgraded to Windows 10 so it may have gotten lost in the sauce. Please let me know if you have any more questions. Best regards, Jim

Purchased a range of patterns from Jim which I succesfully used on a recent fishing trip. Jims Black Ant and the Kebari Futsu Common consistently out performed all my other patterns over a 5 day period, and I will definitely purchase more from Jim in the future.

Straightforward answers and honest advice
May 14, 2019

I have not received my flies yet but the owner answer my questions and gave me some sound advice on fly selection. He did not try to oversell me flies I may never need.
