The Tools Serious Tiers Actually Use. Now in One Kit.
There's a reason the Umpqua DreamStream+ line shows up on the bench of tiers who know what they're doing. These aren't starter tools you'll replace in six months — they're the real thing, built to last and designed to make tying easier, not harder.
We carry this kit at basin + bend because it's the answer to one of the most common questions we get: "What tools should I actually buy?" Five essentials, one case, $44.97 — $20 off the $64.99 retail price. Done.
What's in the Kit
- Bobbin — smooth thread tension control for cleaner wraps
- Bodkin — for applying head cement, picking out dubbing, and clearing hook eyes
- Whip-finish tool — the right way to finish a fly, every time
- Hackle plier — grip and wrap hackle without breaking it
- 3.5" arrow point scissors — precise cuts where it counts
Why the DreamStream+ Line?
Umpqua's DreamStream+ tools are built to a higher standard than what comes in most beginner kits — better materials, better ergonomics, better feel in the hand after a long tying session. If you already have a vise and want to upgrade the rest of your bench, this is the most efficient way to do it. Available in Blue or Tan.
A Great Fly Tying Gift
If you're shopping for a fly fisher who ties — or wants to start — this kit is a clean, practical gift that won't collect dust. Pair it with the Umpqua Beginner's Fly Tying Kit for someone just getting started, or give it on its own to a tier who's ready to upgrade their tools.
