A compact desktop Swim Tank (Fly tester) for trialling your creations.
...So you've spent the better part of an hour building an intruder. You want to ensure it looks as tasty as possible to potential takers. You have options:
1. Leave it up to the gods.
2. Head out on the river. Take your fishing buddy (who lost you that fish once upon a time) and send him downstream with a camera and snorkel.
3. Buy this Swim Tank!
This is an ideal way to make corrections to your fly patterns from the comfort of your own tying bench. Take the guess work out of the presentation and swing through the run with confidence.
Manufactured and assembled in our shop in Northern BC.
Upgrades from the original model:
- Built in nylon leader guides on pump and face of tank.
- Feet to ensure gap between tank and surface to reduce vibration.
- Taller sides to minimize risk of overspill during running.
- Various aesthetic improvements.
