  • Toothbrush- extra soft, for brushing out hackle, fur and dubbing to make it buggier.
  • Shitty scissors- Not pictured but you can imagine what a pair looks like. For cutting wire and other synthetics. You can also just find a pair in your house or (eventually) use an old pair of tying scissors.
  • Sally Hansens Hard As Nails- I use this for head cement. With a good whip finish, it’s good enough to keep the fly wrapped up for longer than it takes me to lose it.
  • Reading Glasses [optional]- If you’re an old, like me, throw a pair into your tying kit so you can better see the flaws in what you tie.
