Let customers speak for us
from 129 reviewsThis is a truly great line. Double-tapers should be used more often and you get a great distance line with a double-taper as well. I use this line for all my Tom Morgan rods and softer fiberglass rods, too. I fish hard with this line some 100 plus days/year and it lasts...going on 8yrs now!
I went out last night to test the casting, and the Thistledown was fantastic, used the 5-7wt line on my 5 wt rod and was performed so well that I thought that I was a really good caster. Can’t wait to try it on the Roaring Fork and Gunnison in a couple of weeks.
Upon inspection the net looks to be well constructed, very light in weight which is nice. The extension handles operate smoothly.
Quality item that I’ve used on two different occasions the week since I received it. Very happy with the product and would recommend it to anyone.
High quality jacket and super warm. Will have to wait for cold weather and rain to test the waterproofness. I doubt it will disappoint.
Fit was true; quality construction; we will see how it works for her this fall and winter for keeping dry and warm.
I've tried nearly a dozen jackets and this finally does all the things in one package. Warm, dry, comfortable, quality built, good looking. And great customer service. Thanks for the gear, I'll put it to the test!
Wear it not only for back support but for heat to the core of my back, Wear it on waders as well as when playing golf. Helps this 80 year old beat and shoot his age!
I purchased a pair of these 14 months ago .
After 6 trips the neoprene food has a large hole in it .
I basically decintigrated on the last fishing trip .
Without taking them off for a mornings fishing that started off fine and 5 hours later they were leaking .
I emailed the local rep and his investigation was that I had something in the washing boot .
Who walks around for 6 hours with something in there boot .
After sales service I have decided is appalling
Thanks Andrew
I have all my gear organized and ready to go in the Large XS Gear Bag. Looking forward to a great season on the rivers of SW Montana. I chose this bag because of its features and price compared to the big name companies. Service was great all around with my first purchase from Snowbee.USA.

Thank you for the quick response shipping me the fly line I ordered while at the Pleasanton fly show.
Upon receiving it I, of course, spooled it up right away. The line is your Showbee XS plus WF#2-#5 line.. I loaded it onto my TFO custom made & balanced #6 wt fly rod. Now I must mention that this rod actually works better with a heavy 5 wt line over a normal 6 wt line. On the positive side, Snowbee's line cast much easier than the line I am currently using & with less effort.
When we spoke, there in Pleasanton, I tried to outline our method of fishing in order to make the best line selection. Let me go over it again in order for my (hopefully) constructive feedback to have any meaning. I fish the Lower Sacramento River (for trout) here in northern California and it is predominately nymph fishing with indicators. The rig consist of an indicator where the fly line and leader meet, 8-9 feet of leader to the split shot and another 6 feet of tippet on which are attached 2 - 3 nymph flies (we are casting a 12 to 16 foot set up). This is a long rig and you need a good head on your line to turn it over.
As we spoke you were certain that the XS Plus line would best meet the needs. After fishing 5 hours on Sat. I can tell you that the line is just barely up to the job. It just does not have a large (heavy) enough head to turn the rig over other that at short distances. On a cast as long as the head the rig just looses all it energy and to tell you the truth it was a struggle. Unfortunately it just did not load the rod enough.
I hope I was able to communicate this in the way it was meant. I retired 4 years ago from over 40 years in sales and found my customers were a valuable source of product knowledge and therefore I hope this feedback will be of value in the future.

These waders performed really well. I was happy with their fit and comfort. They were easy to put on and take off. Great features with zippering pockets etc
I really like this pak set. The width of the collar could be just a little smaller and more curved to allow both paks to ride not so high on the chest. This also could be achieved by making it adjustable at the chest so both paks ride lower if the person wishes them to be lower. 👍🎣
Hi, I have been looking for a gear bag for ages, unfortunately I can not purchase one as and (your not the only supplier) fail to provide the one piece of information and that is the dimensions the bag. Large just does not do it neither does medium or small I need the actual dimensions.
So sorry until I can find one with the dimensions I have to keep on looking !!
Company review would be unsatisfactory as it fails to give complete details

Very sturdy and well made. I like all the room and compartments. I haven’t traveled with it yet so I can’t comment on durability. It seems to be solid I like the colors and size of bag.
This my new favorite tippet material, it is invisible in the water and much stronger than rated! My only knock on it is that it is hard for me to see when I am tying a hook on, but I believe that is truly a positive when it is in the water!
Great stuff! I love it!
These are the waders I’ve wanted for 30 years; attractive, perfect fit, comfortable, and, the best part, they just don’t leak!!!!!!
Great water proof boxes that hold all the flies you could ever need and then another 100! Great price. Highly recommend!
Great bag. Boots fit perfect. And so good to put dirty boots in a bag. Helps keep my car clean. Highly recommend.
I have used many other brands lines and Snowbee lines are easily my favorite. So supple and memory free. The XS double taper is perfect for dry fly presentations and while fishing a team of wet flies.
For the price this wading staff is a great value! It is well built and sufficiently heavy duty to ward off snakes and the occasional tweaker. Glad I bought it.
Finally answered father time and got a pram for Stillwater fly fishing. And my gear bag was a mess. Ta da, Snowbee to the rescue. Great quality, super space division, water proof bottom, and sized just right. Very pleased, thank you Snowbee!
Looking for a Jacket with Plenty of space and to keep you warm. No Questions asked this jacket was built for the Winter.
Perfect of any kind of trout fishing the reel has a great balance to the rods and has a wide spool that I have found efective for euro nymphing.
Great Box for holding alot of flies. Also Very room effective in Packs and bags. Full waterproof and enough storage for a full weekends worth of fly fishing.
