“Very prompt delivery and handling online. Would be good to remind customers of the discount codes that are in operation at the time. I had been adding to my basket and when I ordered missed the code out, and therefore the discount.”

“Although the flies I ordered took longer to arrive than I expected ( about a week ) , I was more than happy with the quality of the materials used and the tying. Will continue to purchase from this supplier as good quality hooks are required on my visits to Dever Springs.”
