Build Your Own Guide Kit

Required Guide Tools

• ✓ Water Mark™ Guide Tool Kit
• ✓ Extra Nippers
• ✓ Extra Forceps
• ✓ Leader Straightener
• ✓ Hook Threaders
• ✓ Nail Knot Tool
• ✓ MonoMaster™

Leaders

I'd include lots.

Instead of one 3-pack each...

I'd do:

• 3X (6-pack)
• 4X (6-pack)
• 5X (6-pack)
• 6X (6-pack)

Guides go through leaders constantly.

Tippet

Definitely heavier quantities.

Maybe:

• Two 4-Pack Tippet Assortments

or

• Individual spools:
  • 3X
  • 4X
  • 5X
  • 6X
  • 7X

Floatants

This is where I'd make it look like a guide kit.

Instead of one Floatant Pack...

I'd include:

• 2 × Snake Oil
• 2 × Super Fly
• 2 × Rattlesnake Shake
• 1 × FROX
• 1 × Sasquatch Dander
• 2 × Dry Fly Patches

Those are consumables and guides use them all day.

Indicators

Lots.

Maybe

• 2 × EZ Ball Assortments
• 2 × EZ Tear Drop Assortments
• Split Shot

Fly Boxes

I LOVE this idea.

Instead of one fly box...

Offer:

• Dry Fly Box
• Nymph Box
• Streamer Box

OR

One Guide Box with room to add their own flies.

Flies

This is where it gets interesting.

Don't include only 18 flies.

I'd include something like:

• 6 dozen Guide Assortment

or

Build Your Own

• 6 dozen flies

Let the guide choose.

Other items

I'd seriously consider:

• Floatant Ready Bottle Holder
• Tool Retractors
• Zingers
• Replacement Threaders
• Dry Fly Patch refills
• Fly Box Labels

I'd also offer levels

Guide Essentials

Tools and consumables only.
