Quick take
A waterproof plastic reference card with step-by-step diagrams for 14 essential fly fishing knots and a complete fly rod rigging setup guide.
This is a pocket-sized set of waterproof plastic cards that walks through 14 fly fishing knots with illustrated steps, from the nail knot and blood knot to the uni and improved clinch. One card also diagrams a basic fly setup from backing to tippet, which helps newer fly anglers see how the pieces connect. A mini carabiner clips it to a pack, vest or waders so the reference stays close on the water.
