ABU OPTIC FLIES

ABU Optic flies

With names that sounded fresh, in-your-face and downright sexy, the Optic Fly series from Swedish tackle manufacturer ABU entered the angling world like a warm summer wind in the 1960s cold war era - and the flies are as effective today as they were back then.

In this book Michael Jensen trace the history of Callgirl, Streamtease, Pin-up and Playboy. The goal is to preserve a piece of Scandinavian angling history - and to give new fly fishermen and fly tiers the opportunity to experience the magic of the Optic Flies.
