Brands

Purchased in 1990, Anglers Image began as a maker of high-quality Japanese line clippers. Over time, the brand expanded to include a full range of streamside tools and accessories, eventually growing large enough to merit its own dedicated catalog. 

Introduced in 1998, Ultra Thread was the first thread engineered specifically for fly-tying, not adapted from sewing or textile use. It's consistency, strength, and color range have made it a staple for tiers around the world. 

Most of our fly‑tying materials carry the Wapsi name, though we intentionally keep our branding subtle so the fly shop’s name can take center stage. “If you see a label like the ones below, you can trust it is a Wapsi product.” Our mission is simple: deliver high‑quality, high‑value materials while supporting the fly shops that keep fly‑tying and fly‑fishing thriving.

Acquired in the 1990's, Terra represents our line of high-quality, high-value fly-tying tools and vises manufactured in India and Pakistan. Over decades of collaboration with our partner factories, we've continuallly refined and improved the Terra lineup.

Originally introduced as a streamside-tool brand, Lightning Strike expanded in 2005 to include value-priced, high-quality carbon-steel hooks made in Japan. Unlike many distributors, all Lightning Strike hooks are produced start-to-finish in a single factory, ensuring exceptional consistency and quality.
