“I have used EF off and on for some years and found their flies to be good quality. I was pleased when they started a barbless collection but recently disappointed to find their barbless selection (esp., buzzers, crunchers and PTN) has become a bit limited. I hope the barbless selection will expand soon.”

“Dealing with essential Fly has been an absolute pleasure. I was not sure what I needed, so I called and spoke to Philippa, who could not have been more helpful. She did not try to sell me anything that I didn't need and simply offered excellent advice. I placed my order and everything arrived promptly. In this age of Chatbots and recorded messages, it was very refreshing to get such excellent personal service.”
