In my experience on both fresh and saltwater flies, I’ve never noticed any fading with these when exposed to water. They color feathers, fur, hair, thread and acrylics very well. That said, the color will disolve when exposed to head cement (Sally Hansen), but is otherwise permanent. They do not fade or run when used with UV resin.
A nice feature of these, if you color foam, is the ability to blend colors with your thumb like this (alcohol wipe to clean up your skin
) No fancy airbrush setup needed!
It's crazy how easy it is to run up $45 in flies. And then somehow sobering when the package arrives as a tiny padded envelope.
I wonder if Nirvana picked Leland up. Most of their inventory seems to be Nirvana/Moonlit, which I think is mostly Korean. I bought a tying vise for travel from Moonlit last year, sub $90 shipped. It’s serviceable for that purpose with a couple of customizations to suit me. Current price point puts that vise in some pretty good competition. Hard to resist that tippet price.
I just received the tippet I ordered, and the product looks as advertised, but it was shipped from an individual's address in Chubbuck Idaho. So I guess they don't have a shop in San Francisco any longer? Maybe online only now, homebased? Either way I can't complain about $3 spools of fluorocarbon tippet (unless I find out it is trash when I use it, which I will find out tomorrow).
