At Finatics Fly Company, we weren’t satisfied with the same generic fly tying materials showing up in every corner of the internet. So we built our own. The result? A full line of Finatics-branded fly tying materials that reflect the waters we fish, the flies we tie, and the species we chase across the Gulf, marsh, flats, and beyond.
From custom-colored Craft Fur to synthetic baitfish blends and Louisiana-rooted dubbing names, our branded materials are designed specifically for saltwater fly tying and warmwater predators—redfish, tarpon, speckled trout, tripletail, bonefish, permit, sheepshead, jacks, and more.
This is your official deep dive into why Finatics Fly Tying Materials are built different—and why they belong on every serious fly tyer’s bench.
Built from the Bayou Up – Not Rebagged Junk
We’re not in the business of slapping a sticker on somebody else’s product and calling it innovation. We worked directly with our factory partners to develop custom fibers, unique color palettes, proprietary dubbing blends, and exclusive flash combinations that perform in the exact conditions we fish: dirty water, shallow flats, grassy marshes, bluewater drop-offs, and everything in between.
Every item in our tying materials collection has been:
-
Tested on real fish in real conditions
-
Refined for maximum movement and durability
-
Matched to Louisiana forage species
-
Packaged with tyers—not factories—in mind
Whether you’re tying up redfish sliders or bonefish shrimp, your bench materials matter. We built ours to be fished hard and tied smart.

Trout baitfish

These aren’t saltwater-only materials—they’re just saltwater-tested and tough enough to take a beating.
