Why Finatics Branded Fly Tying Materials Are Changing the Game for Saltwater Fly Tyers

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.

French Quarter Flash – Bayou Blends

Subtle, saltwater-specific flash designed for blending into crab legs, shrimp shells, and low-profile baitfish. Not just flashy—realistic.


Saltwater First, Freshwater Ready

Everything we make is designed with saltwater fly tying as the primary goal. But the same performance features make our materials perfect for warmwater freshwater applications like:

  • Bass streamers

  • Carp flies

  • Trout baitfish

  • Steelhead intruders

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


Built for Commercial and Guide Use

We built these materials for tyers who actually fish their flies, not just frame them. They’re durable, consistent, and commercial-tier. Whether you're producing 10 flies for your guide box or 500 for your fly shop, our material lines offer:

  • Consistent batch-to-batch quality

  • Colorfast synthetic fibers

  • UV, flash, and movement optimized for visibility and eats

Final Word – Why Finatics Materials Are Worth Tying

If you’re still tying with bargain-bin fibers, inconsistent dubbing, and flash that tangles more than it swims, it’s time to upgrade.

Finatics-branded materials are:

  • Designed by fly tyers

  • Tuned for inshore and offshore species

  • Color-matched to real forage from the Gulf to the Keys

  • Produced with a higher standard of quality control than generic materials

  • Rooted in Southern culture, Cajun naming, and saltwater performance

This is the fly tying material lineup we always wished existed. So we made it ourselves.
