The Flexistripper was developed and produced by Danish split-cane-rod-builder-extraordinaire Bjarne Fries a long time ago and everyone at Ahrex has used it for as long as it’s been on the market, which is why it made sense for us to buy the rights to the production and launch it as a (lovely blue) Ahrex product. … Continue reading “Flexistripper”
At least we can say with certainty that they’re not fake news, but we do have some hooks that have been added to our current line-up, and they’ve slipped under the radar, so we thought it best to point them out here on the blog.
We are well on the way to having what we consider a full line of hooks (although we’re probably not done yet). We have most species covered and we believe we have a broad selection of both general and specialist hook designs. Dry flies, wet flies, saltwater flies (both cold and tropical saltwater), pike, salmon, … Continue reading “How to choose a hook”
Flexistripper is a different version of a traditional strippingbasket.
It is much smaller than a standard strippingbasket and does not disturb the view as a normal basket. The flex stripper is equipped with 28 flexible “spikes” that effectively keep track of your loose-flyline but still allow the line to run freely when throwing and shooting line. It is super lightweight and extremely easy to use, and perfect for travel as it does not fill much when unpacked – if the spikes are being bend over during travel they can be heated up and straighten back or can be peeled off when unpacked.
Ideal to be used for all types of fly fishing and keeps track of the fly line without getting in the way.
Comes with a strong 125 cm / 50 inch neoprene belt that ensures good comfort during fishing.
Color: blue with clear pegs

It’s been rainy and windy and definitely very autumn-like, especially in comparison to the lovely warm days late … Continue reading “Changes”
Ok, as you might have heard, Ahrex Hooks cofounders Morten and Søren visited Greenland earlier this month. Back then I promised to get back with a report on that trip, so this is it.
With summer slowly leaving the scene, at least up here on the Northern Hemisphere, and fall approaching in near future, you might feel inclined to spend an evening at the vice.
This spring we took a sneak peek into the versatile tube fly rigging system, developed by our friend, UK based streamer dude, Paul Monaghan. Fly tiers tend to be nerdy – and Paul is as nerdy as they come. But all his ideas on fly design and rigging are put to the test when Paul … Continue reading “Paul Monaghan’s ‘Mono’ Rig – Weedless rig for predator tube flies”
Fly tying materials come and go. Some pop up because they are trendy for a period – helped along by a sudden burst of interest from high profile tiers. Other materials reach a short popularity helped along by intensive marketing.
Summer fishing for perch is probably what turned a lot of kids into anglers. It can be laid back and just relaxed fun – or you can go all in and really get some cool action on the surface as well as below.
