The Flymen team chose a winner each week, and now it's up to YOU to decide the final grand prize winners and have the chance to win the same 12 prizes that the finalists will win, PLUS a Redington Fly Rod! If you vote, you will be entered into a drawing to win the following prizes.

The Prizes

All finalists will win a NEW 2020 Edition Fly Tester! If you've already pre-ordered a Fly Tester and are selected as a finalist, you can choose to receive store credit of equal value as your prize instead.

The Fly Tester is currently available for pre-order. We are in phase 2 of the pre-orders and the phase 2 Fly Tester units will ship in June. Each finalist will have a Fly Tester reserved for them.
