Anyone visiting the Fred Hall show that is in the rod building world owes it to yourself to check out what Gabriel at Hitena has to offer. Their wrapping thread is awesome, with a huge variety of colors, styles and patterns to chose from.

The Hitena is the best rod building thread that I have used and that is Pac Bay, Gudebrod, and Fuji. The Metallic Aurora black that I picked up at the ICRBE looks amazing can’t wait to try it on a future build.

The fly tippet is awesome, strong for their diameter. Also very low memory which I think allows for much smaller diameter spools than other brands so takes up less space in your pack and less clunky on a tippet holder.
