Where passionate anglers find premium tools at unbeatable prices

Our Story

Founded by fly fishing enthusiasts in Crofton, Maryland, Cheap Hook And Shank Store began with a simple mission: to make high-quality fly tying accessible to every angler. We know the frustration of overpriced supplies limiting your creativity at the vise. That’s why we’ve built direct relationships with manufacturers to bring you professional-grade materials at prices that won’t make your wallet flinch.

Why Fly Tyers Choose Us

Hook Specialists

From Gamakatsu streamer hooks to TMC dry flies, we carry the strongest, sharpest hooks that hold up to repeated catches – because losing the big one to bent metal shouldn’t happen.

Hackle You Can Trust

Whiting Farms feathers that float perfectly and move naturally in the water – without the premium price tag of other retailers.

Tools That Work As Hard As You Do

Our carefully selected vises, bobbins, and UV resins help you tie faster, cleaner, and with less frustration – so you spend more time fishing.
