Moulinet d’Or 2004, Pêche Mouche – FR

The Magic Tool is undoubtedly an indispensable tool for every

fly tier.

It will enable you to tie all kinds of flies and to use many
components at one and the same time very easily.

You can create any pattern you can possibly think of which,
up until now, you may not have been able to visualize. Mixing
different feathers (soft or stiff), natural or synthetic dubbing – the
Magic Tool will do the trick! A whole new world of flies with
exciting colours and materials will be opened up to you.

The idea is simple. It consists of placing all the materials needed

for a fly (dubbing, hackles, CDC feathers, etc.)
in one of the 3 special clips.

All the components are then aligned, trimmed and transferred

 Generally our larger flies incorporate different materials
for different effects. For example, Ice FIBER fishes differently
to Ice FUR. However, all our materials have just the right amount of
pliability, neither too soft nor too stiff and we choose the right amount
(quantity & length) to get the right FISH-CATCHING effect in the
water.

Just try our flies in the water margin before fishing;

you’ll be amazed at their action.

2010
Since 1990 we have developed a small, yet comprehensive range
of fly fishing products for the modern angler. Over the years,
we have introduced many new and imaginative products to the market.
Irrespective of their cost or complexity, all are aimed at giving the innovative
fly tier the ability to make and develop better flies.

We are proud that our products have been honoured with

For all the creations 15 international awards.
