Why Buy Flies Online? 5 Brilliant Reasons

At RiverBum, we advocate for supporting your local fly shop. If we don’t, they won’t be there in the future. They can give great advice. They can put on flies that are hatching that day. Many, however, have a reduced selection, are overpriced, and have low quality product.

The good news is, ordering flies online can be a better and more affordable alternative. 

In fact, for the rest of this post, we're going to delve into the top 5 reasons why you should consider buying flies online.

Let's get to it! 

Quality

We have evaluated over 50 commercial tiers, maybe even 100 at this stage. We are very discerning when it comes to quality. All of our products are tied on Daiichi and Gamakatsu hooks by premium commercial tiers. 

Look, I know there are a ton of buck a fly guys out there. Simply put, you get what you pay for. Their quality of tie is nothing like ours and the hooks are not of the quality we use. We’ve evaluated their tiers and rejected them. 

I’ve never understood how some could spend thousands on their gear just to have something that’s going to fall apart on the end of their tippet.

Value

We buy directly from the factory in large volumes. 

Because there is no middleman, we are able to deliver you great value for the quality of the product we sell passing the savings on to our loyal customers.

Selection

We have thousands of patterns from fresh to salt, trout to tarpon and everything in between. 

Whether you live on the East Coast or West Coast, England or Australia, we have the flies you need for the waters you want to fish. 

Headed to Montana? You are absolutely going to want to have some Brindle Chutes in your box. 

Sulfur hatch in Pennsylvania? We’ve got you covered. 

Going Musky fishing? Try our unique DriCast musky and pike flies. 

These flies are engineered to quickly shed water in your back cast. This means you’re less tired and more accurate in your cast.

Service

We offer super-fast service with most orders shipping in 24 hours. We stand by our products. 

Not happy for whatever reason, just simply return, post pre-paid.

Convenience

I don’t know about you, but I do most of my shopping with my iPad on my chair at night. 

I actually used to LIKE to go to a store. Not anymore. It’s far too easy just to shop from my Lay Z Boy. 

It's just way to quick and easy to find what I’m looking for. 

Shopping RiverBum is a snap. We’ve got all of our products categorized so whatever you are looking for is easy to find or search for.
