Matarelli Fly Tying Tools

Matarelli is a privately owned company located in San Francisco, California. The company makes fly tying tools that are well known for their quality and precision. Whether one is a beginner or an expert fly tyer, three Matarelli fly tying tools are essential for the tying bench.

  1. Bobbin

    • A Matarelli bobbin is an essential fly tying tool made of stainless steel. It is a spring-tension device that holds a spool of tying thread. The thread passes through a small tube and is wound around the hook to secure sections of the fly. Matarelli makes bobbins in three sizes.

    Bobbin Threader

    • A bobbin threader is a tool that allows a tyer to pull the thread through the tube from the spool. It also cleans out the tube.

    Whip Finisher

    • A whip finisher is used to neatly form and tie off the head on a fly with the tying thread. A Matarelli whip finisher is made of brass and stainless steel and comes in two sizes.
