Wapsi produced a kit that focused on giving the starter a positive experience the first time at the vise. Included in this kit is a straightforward DVD with clear, step-by-step instructions, using materials geared to tie modern fly patterns.
Founded in Iowa in 1945, Wapsi is one of the most traditional companies for fly tying materials. The beginnings were small and local, but nowadays, this family-owned business offers almost everything a fly tyer's heart desires. From various feathers and furs to rubber legs, wires, and much more. A special feature is also the practical solutions for storing tying threads and the well-thought-out accessories. Despite the high quality of materials, Wapsi has remained true to itself and offers all products at extremely fair prices.
