Equipment Review

Since we are a new company and have a different way of conducting business, we don't make a great effort at advertising and trust the word of mouth and personal experiences of our customers to pass on recommendations about our gear. Here, we have opportunity for some fly fishing based organizations and professionals to give their two-cents (in some cases a quarter) on what they think of our gear. We are proud of our efforts here at FFB and want others to know that there are people out there that use our equipment and have great things to say about it!

Here is a list of reviews about our equipment since we started manufacturing this fine gear:
