Does anyone know where I can get in touch with a flyshop that sells Wapsi Products? I’ve checked the four flyshops on the sponsor page but none of them sold Wapsi products. I’m looking for Wapsi stretch tubing in the microl size. I’ve got 5 other brand names of ribbing material but prefer the Wapsi. If you know of a flyshop where I can get this material, please pm me the information. Thanks in advance.
I noticed in my Feathercraft catalog that they carry Waspi “Loco” foam and some other Waspi products, so, I would contact Feathercraft and ask them to order what you are looking for. I also noticed that Feathercraft has the following which may be what you are looking for, but, it is not Waspi:
Item 2188
Hollow body-tubing from Shane Stalcup including a MICRO DIAMETER! The tiniest diameter body tubing ever offered. Also available in MIDGE and STANDARD sizes. This is the stretchiest (gummiest) tubing ever made. Easy to work with. Stretch it flat and rib nymphs or wrap fly bodies size 8 thru 26. SIZES: Micro, Midge or Standard in the following colors:
Clear, red, orange,yellow, grey, tan, black, brown, mahogany, rust, olive, Lt. olive, chartreuse, white, peacock, olive-brown, dark golden stone, Lt. golden stone, blue, buckskin, pheasant tail, cream, pink, purple
I can vouch for the charteredwaters.com website, but I wouldn’t touch the two Russian websites that Norm listed with a ten-foot pole…Shipping might be a tad slow… and expensive!
you know ive ordered fly tying products from the czech republic and the UK and have received them in a shorter amount of time than some of our big catalog fly tying/fishing houses.
You can also try the [url=http://www.greatfeathers.com:aeeba]Great Feathers[/url:aeeba] shop. If it isnt on their website just call them and they prolly have it in stock. Seriously.
Feather-Craft is one of Wapsi’s biggest distributors, has great customer service, and responds best to phone calls. You can reach them toll free at 1-800-659-1707. Ask for Jane or Bob.
