Tenkara Fly-Tying - Build your kit

( / )
Shipping calculated at checkout.

We want to show you that tenkara fly-tying is actually simple. In addition to a collection of videos and other resources we're putting together to get you into fly-tying, here are the items you may want.

Pick what you need separately, or add all to make a complete tenkara fly-tying kit with all you need to start tying your own flies, and nothing you don't. Note: If an item is out of stock at the moment, it will not appear  as an option here. 

Fly-tying Vise

We show you how to tie flies without using a vise, but we admit, having a 3rd hand holding your hook as you create your own tenkara fly-pattern is worth it. Pedestal-style non-rotary vise made by Peak Fly-fishing in Loveland, Colorado, this is a well-built, simple vise that will certainly last for generations.

Tenkara Fly Tying Materials

Nice assortment of materials to get one started tying Tenkara flies.

Tenkara Fly-Tying Kit (UPGRADED)

Great vice for non rotary. Ties flies very well and the tools function well. Have tied a bunch up and found the included supplies to be of good quality. Plenty to tie slot of tenkara flies. While tying, I did have lots of thread breaks. Perhaps down the road a better bobbin. Could also be my technique lacking real skill! Either way, this set up is a solid purchase for a beginner like myself. Much more cost effective to tie your own tenkara flies. They are also very easy to tie after watching the videos here in the forums.

Tenkara Fly-Tying Kit (UPGRADED)

Good, basic setup. Vise seems well made and the base is nice and heavy. Non rotary. I tied a few flies and it does what it is supposed to do. No complaints.
