At my last trip to Germany, I was introduces to a true genius, Mr. Alenko Franolic.
His workshop was one of those places, where you could "smell the sublime atmosphere" of a place where a lot of genius idea's comes to live.
I really enjoyed being in Alenko's workshop. The things he showed me, simply blew me a way.
Among all the great things I saw in Alenkos' workshop, one thing really caught my interest - A brand new line of tungsten materials.
Normally tungsten is a fragile material that breaks if you try to mingle too much with it, but Alenko had developed a brand new kind of elastic tungsten material, in a wide range of shapes, form and sizes - the most brilliant tying material, which every fly fisher with a bit of self respect, have to have in his or hers fly tying kit.
With these kind of materials you could create difficult fly patterns, with ease.
Another thing I really liked, were the floating material for May fly's - which not only made your fly 100% floating, even though it have been chewed thoroughly by several fish, it was also luminescent, for fishing in the dark.
If I had a fly fishing shop I would get in contact with Alenko right away and make an arrangement so I could start selling these exciting new materials in my tackle shop.
Here is a couple of shots of those brilliant fly tying materials.
