We are a small family
owned business located in Springfield, Oregon. The company was founded
in 1994 with five basic tools and our products have grown to include over
100 custom tools and gift sets related to the hobby of fly tying. Our
products are carried by over 600 fly shops in the USA and several national
and international catalogs. Also we sell in Europe, United Kingdom, Japan,
New Zealand, Canada and Australia through a network of distributors in
those areas.
Our Guarantee:
We unconditionally guarantee our products for your lifetime. If you have
a problem with a Wasatch tool, just return it to our factory in Springfield,
Oregon, and we will replace it, no questions asked.
Country of Origin:
Wasatch tools are manufactured in the United States. Most of the parts
are fabricated and assembled in Springfield, Oregon. Each tool is inspected
by the owner before shipment! Approximately 15% of the parts used in our
tools come from other countries, including England, France, Germany, India,
and Pakistan.
The Wood:
Cocobolo wood comes from Central American rainforests and is considered
endangered. We use a cocobolo substitute in order to not further threaten
this species. Our wood is American birch that has been dyed, stabilized
and compressed to make it about twice as dense as normal. This process
provides a material that can't be distinguished from the endangered variety,
but won't darken with age and is very very strong.
The Art:
Our gift boxes are embossed with fly fishing art from two sources. We
use Jason Borger line drawings depicting mayflies and fish. Also we are
using art provided by Fly Girls, a Michigan based fly fishing club. This
unusual art depicts the life cycle of mayflies.
Royalties paid to the club are used for a variety of conservation and
education programs. We can also apply art or logos provided by the customer.
How to Purchase:
We feel that it is
very important to the future of fly fishing that you support your local
dealer. Dealers provide fly tying and fishing instruction and are the
life blood that will enable our sport to grow. If you do not have a dealer
near you that sells our products, please contact us and we will see that
you receive the product support that you deserve.
The Award:
We were thrilled to win the 2006 Lee Wulff Award from the Federation of
Fly Fishers. This world wide award is given to the one company each year
that has contributed the most to our sport. Past winners include Orvis,
3M, Patagonia and other biggys! |
