I'm only asking $20 shipped per standard single, such as this one (I could be way off base here, but IMHO, it's more than fair, please lmk if you think otherwise--and why). Honestly, I'm probably that much (and then some) into it if you account for time/primo materials (Primotail bucktail, Ahrex TP610, etc)....bottom line, I don't like to screw around when it comes to quality materials. I just really enjoy tying these and now that I feel as though I completely have a couple of styles (action-wise) really dialed, it's time to start at least making it possible to tie more for you folks! Like any good drug dealer I gave out all of those free samples just for a taste.... :LOL: ....the way I look at it is similar to how the kind folks of this forum operate, gotta keep the lights on.

Pretty soon I'll be offering another single, but with 2 shanks off the back end to give it even more wiggle. These will be in the 9-10" range and more of a 10wt fly. They're going to go for $25 each shipped.

Hooks I'll be using: Ahrex Trout Predator or TP light or TP long in 4/0, Ahrex Aberdeen Predator 4/0, Gamakatsu Spinnerbait hooks (very similar to the above) 3/0 or 4/0. If you want something like a B10S, let me know but they just don't have as long of a shank so it's tougher to get a decent platform to make it do what I want.

Bucktail: This will be ALL PrimoTail from the Midwest....not your average bucktail.

Payment will be via PayPal: clarkman23@hotmail.com


I would prefer payment prior to me getting started, but that's not a total necessity.

Also, please allow for up to a week for me to get started to account for my whacky work schedule plus where you are in the que.

Alternatively, you can PM me your PP address and I'll send you an invoice. No pressure either way.

This is a basic 7.5" sucker/pikeminnow (on an Ahrex TP610 4/0) pattern that acts like a jerk bait. This will kick HARD on the slightest pull. I didn't add additional weight on the shank which can give them more of a glide bait action. At any rate, if anyone has something else in mind, let me know and I can whip it up for you for our local tigers. Just let me know & I'll work with you to get what you're after.

I think $15 is reasonable
Just check out some of the other online prices
Nice flies as usual
 
Hmmm….would a bid, of say, $20 be sufficient followed by a DM?
Love your stylin’ on builds.

Aren't ya supposed to offer less than asking price? :LOL:

in all seriousness, this isn't an auction.

See my PM with my proposal for your specific needs.
 
This specific one is sold pending funds. I'll add additional flies below rather than start an entirely new thread for each one.
 
Can confirm, these catch fish. And if you take a look at some Musky sites like Musky fool, you'll see how fairly this is priced.
 
I was at the Albany Fly show, and saw a fly close to what you're tying. I asked the lady what she wanted for it, and she said $40! .... "you mean $4?" ..no she said $40! Wow...
 
Oooh - you're taking requests?? Sweet!

My Ontario fly-in this summer is on Lake St Joseph - a trophy big pike and walleye fishery.
Word is big, blue and white, with some flash is the best bet. I really like the design above & that size. Barbless required here, also.

$20 for sure, and I don't need it until late July, so no rush :giggle:

No kidding, btw, on the "first ones are free" analogy - I've found myself casting the ones you sent me just to watch them swim!

We'll be at the other end of this 90 mile long lake with a different outfitter, unguided (but these guys have some cool fly fishing vids 😁 )
 
Shit @clarkman
You’re gonna need to sub some of this out to Cambodia or ShriLanka or something just to keep up with the orders
Good work if you can get it 😎
He has a small child with nimble fingers. He'll be fine.


Clarkman:
I'll pay you 20.00 for one made in Kraken colors.
let me know if you are interested.

I'm serious

@clarkman, I suggest you include a copy of this with each order
 
All right, seems like there is a bit of demand. You guys have talked me into upping it to $20. Don't try to convince me anything higher. PM me with what you want and how many and I can give you a general timeline.

I’d only had 3 cups of coffee. Wasn’t focused yet, meant the $ to include postage.
I failed to take into consideration the size of some of your flies which could be considered usps oversize 🧐
Replied to your PM.
