Tying Bench

Out with the old.....Oasis Compact Tying Bench

In with the new.....Greenback Tying Bench from Finest Fly Tying Benches of Colorado

I had another company (Hartman Woodworking) attempt to build one for me. I sent them a complete set of drawing to my specifications and they could not even follow my directions. After all, I'm was paying for the damn thing and wanted it built my way. They resisted my requirements and built certain parts their way and kept telling about heirloom quality that would last for generations. After a comment I made to them about their unwanted changes they decided not to ship me the finished product. Oh well, buyer beware!

Buy Quality Tools and Materials

Poor quality tools and materials are destined to discourage beginner tiers and cause greater expense when the time comes to replace them.

Flex vs Flex

Uni-flexx

Uni-Flexx is a fine elastic strand and comes spooled in thirteen colours. The strand may be divided into even smaller strands if desired. Uni-Flexx can be used for as a body wrap,legs or skirts. Many like to use Uni-Flexx as a floss replacement because of it's easy handling qualities. Suitable for bodies of small nymphs, larva and pupa. Uni-Flexx retains the original colour when wet unlike many other materials.

Flexi Floss

Flexi Floss/Floss Flex is a crinkly spandex material that is stretchable yet handles like floss.  Great for ribbing, wiggly legs, antennae, segented wrapped midge bodies, and more.  Flexi Floss/Floss Flex is easy to use and adds a little extra shine to your flies.  Best of all it doesn't break down like rubber does, so your legs will last longer.

Spanflex

Spanflex is a very strong, extremely stretchable semi-translucent material with many varied used for the fly tier. Great for tails, feelers, ribbing,legs and bodies.

Life Flex

This spandex material is oval in shape and wiggles like crazy in the water when tied in as legs. Also can be wound like floss for bodies on dries or nymphs


Legs Alive

Easy to use with over 200 strands of 8" leg material...great colors and easy to dye yourself! Ties even small flies as body wrap, midge larva & "Buzzers"

One flex product may not be EXACTLY the same as the other, but i'll bet they can be used interchangeably.
