Rigging a size 24 gnat to 7x tippet with your bare fingers and naked eye is a badge of honor. We get it. But fingers get cold, light gets bad, hands and eyes get tired. The Fly Roost is here to help! The Fly Roost holds your fly in place, guides your line through the eye of the hook, and spins to help you finish the knot. The Fly Roost lets you easily thread and knot your fly no matter how small the hook or how frozen the fingers. The Fly Roost works with most hooks and fly types from size 6 down to size 24.

Before you leave us a review...
Please make sure you purchased an authentic Talweg product. If you ordered from anywhere other than this website or an actual fly shop, if you paid anything other than 29.99, or if you got a useless piece of plastic in the mail , then you unfortunately purchased a fake from Chinese counterfeiters.
They are using our name and our images but they are selling fakes. Our products are made in and shipped from Utah. We would love to help you get the real product, but please don't leave us a review of a product that we didn't sell. If you're not sure, send us an email and we will get you taken care of.
Yep! I fell for the counterfeit version on instagram....bought 4 of them for myself and 3 buddies with 55+ year old eyeballs. The product I fell for didn't even come close to a functional piece. Talwegco's counterfeit warnings are apt. Shockingly, my order from the fraudulent group did arrive after 2 months via Spain where it sat clearing customs for 2 weeks. Shame on me and sorry to TalwegCo for getting repped off by fraudsters.
The tool is great for medium beaded and non beaded hooks. Does not work well for small 18-22 size hooks, especially beaded. Also very challenging with 5x to 7x tippet. Unfortunately, I bought it for the small stuff.
I have to say it’s a really amazing piece of flying tying equipment tying .
My fingers got frostbite when I was in the Navy .
Tying small flys were getting really difficult .
Know I enjoy fly fishing .
Thank you so much Andy
THIS IS THE THIRD TIPPET THREADING DEVICE THAT I HAVE PURCHASED, AND ITS DESIGN IS THE BEST OF THREE. THE ISSUE I HAVE IS THAT THE SMALLEST SLOT IS NOT AS ACCURATELY MOLDED AS THE TWO LARGEST SLOTS. ALSO, FLY DESIGNS LIKE THE HARROP'S LAST CHANCE, WHICH HAS CDC HANGING OVER THE HOOK EYE, ARE ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TIE. FOR SIMPLE PARACHUTE PATTERNS, YOU CAN INSERT THE EYE INTO THE SLOT BY WETTING THE FLY AND PULLING THE HACKLE BACK . AND BE SURE TO PRACTICE A LOT BEFORE GOING OUT ON THE RIVER!
