BFFI 2009 – The Partridge Fly Tying Show
No Comments »

Thanks to all of you visiting the BFFI 2009, it was the best turnout that I have seen and was a very important show for us as it was our first outing with Partridge.  We met lots of trade, international fly dressers and customers all after answers about the future of Partridge.  A few considered below but you can also visit www.partridge-of-redditch.co.uk to stay ahead with new patterns and updates.  In the meantime, please feel free to ask us your most important questions about hooks!

Q:  Will you be stopping any hook patterns?  We heard that SALAR doubles will be discontinued

A:  We are not going to change anything and we will certainly continue SALAR hooks, they are a top seller.  Infact I would go further and say that we have already added new sizes of a few hooks CS14/2 doubles is now available in 13 and 14′s and X2 trebles are now available in 14, 16, 18 and 20′s in black, silver and gold

Q:  Why have you stopped producing the SHR pattern?

A:  The CZ and SHR patterns are identical but were in different sizes.  We have decided to bring the range together under CZ pattern and extend the range – they are now available in 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20′s

Q:  Is it true that there will be a new Klinkhamer pattern available in 2009

A:  Yes, all sizes are now available in gold (some folks are asking for silver too)
