Mrs. Flybob launches a new product line!

Mrs. Flybob launches a new product line!

Postby flybob » September 9th, 2012, 2:21 pm

As some of you are aware, Mrs. Flybob has been making custom Rod Socks for the past 5 years, I have lost count on how many she has made but safe to say over 200!

Her talents have not gone unnoticed and so, Mrs Flybob has been commissioned to create a durable Net Case design for the sole proprietor and craftsman extraordinaire of Sierra Nets.

After exchanging many ideas, colors, material types, zippers, and a prototype with Greg, we think she has come up with an affordable winner! (I had faith in her all along).
I think Greg likes it too.

Although she hates me looking over her shoulder, I am amazed at her talent with solving some of the difficulties that are incurred when you have to design from scratch.

I may actually have her make one for my net!

Going fishing or to the tennis club? A thief wouldn't have the first clue. Love it. Great idea. You just can't find quality like that anywhere anymore. Very sweet trick for all the netters out there.

Mrs. Flybob has mad skillz!!! :bananadance:
I can't wait to see it in the morning! FlyAddict will be here at 5am with the case. It's been a long time coming, and I certainly appreciate the care you two have put into this case. FYI, Flybob accepts my CAD drawings and then creates affordable custom cases. THAT's what I call American ingenuity!

Tell the Mrs. to get the duck cloth ready. I'll be selling the heck out of them up in Mammoth next weekend!

Very cool! Looks like great work to me. 8-)
How do you tie the fly to your hooks without killing them with the thread? I keep cutting them in half.

That's slick Bob, tell the Mrs. she does great work. I should send her some cuben fiber or silnylon and have her design me all sorts of ultralight goodies! :lol:

I wonder if Mrs. Flybob could make a down under quilt for my hammock?

Her sewing machine is actually designed for quilting, that is what she primarily does with it.
Don't know what those materials are that you speak of, but if you have any info you can share about it, I can have her take a look at it?
