Loon Fly Tying Tools – Reviewing a few options with Jay Nicholas

Loon Fly Tying Toola at the Caddis Fly Shop

Loon is a respected source of high quality fly tying tools and quite a variety of associated products. I have only been using Loon tools for the last two years, but they have been so good that I decided to make special mention of several that I use regularly.

Loon Rogue Forceps with Comfy Grip
These are pictured at far left in the photo and are a stunning stealth black.
Cushioned finger grips. Lockable feature.

serrated gripping nose to hold hooks or your fellow angler’s tongue securely.

Very fine-point and sharp blades.
Slightly serrated scissors.
Also available in a 5-inch model.

Loon Gator-Grip Dubbing Spinner for Fly Tying

This spinner will not roll off your desk.
Substantial weight makes for perfect spinning of dense material.

I hope you will feel comfortable giving Loon fly tying products a spin on your fly tying bench. They have performed very well for me.
