11.7.09 - Chew Record

Chew Valley pike record smashed by a fish caught on an Alien Hair fly. See the pictures here

29.5.09 - New Colours and Charts

Lots of new colours available, see individual lure listings for colours. Colour charts are being updated, and the 'Wobbly Bob' chart is finished which will give you an indication of what the new colours are like.

29.5.09 - New Pictures in Gallery

Like it says, see them here

12.4.09 - Alien Hair price Increase

The prices for Alien Hair and Straight-A have had to rise slightly. They still offer the best value pike-fly tying materials around, giving twice as much for half the price of most alternatives!

26.3.09 - Custom Lure Colours To Be Discontinued

As a result of changes to my circumstances the custom colour service will be discontinued after the end of April 2009, so if you would like any custom colours making then please place your order by 30.4.09 at the very latest. All orders placed before the deadline will be completed by mid-May at the latest, after that the service will be discontinued indefinitely. I am very sorry for any inconvenience that this may cause to my loyal customers (some of whom love their custom Zootas) - it is not a decision that is taken lightly but it is regrettably unavoidable.

26.3.09 - Alien Hair Gets PFFA Approval

The PFFA has launched an approved products scheme, and Alien Hair is one of the first products to be approved. See more details here

5.2.09 - Link and Picture

New link to Dave McFluffchucker's site here and new picture in gallery here

5.2.09 - New Colours

New colour of Gangster here and more new colours of Alien Hair here

28.12.08 - Gangster colour chart updated

All of the new Gangster colours are now on the colour chart, see them here

28.12.08 - New Heavy Lure Traces

Heavy duty lure traces in stock, details here

8.12.08 - Hooks Etc. Now In Stock

I am now stocking a small but useful range of hooks, split rings and swivels, details here

8.12.08 - More Gangster Colours

More colours now available, details here

20.11.08 - Gangster Lure Now Available

The first of the new gangster lures are now available, with more colours to follow very soon. Keep checking for updates!

13.11.08 - New Gangster Lure

At long last I have finished the final mould and field-testing for the replacement of the Weighted Wagtail. The new lure is a bit different from the old one so I have given it a new name - the Gangster! The first prototype caught 2 good doubles on its first time out, and the recent LAS day at Pitsford proved its worth by taking 2 of the 3 fish that gave me first place in both total catch and biggest fish categories!

It will be a few days before I can start producing these lures for sale, the first run will be in Cisco pattern and more details will appear on the site once I have made them.

24.9.08 - PAC Rutland Event

Some good fish were taken at the 2008 PAC Rutland Event on 'Wobbly Bobs' - see them here

8.9.08 - STRAIGHT-A

A new straight fibred version of Alien Hair is now available for all you predator mad fly anglers! More details here

8.9.08 - Custom Lure Colours

I am once again able to take custom-colour lure orders - things will be a bit slow for a while but you will get them in the end!!!

30.8.08 - Zoota Lures Work for Musky Too

To my knowledge the first musky to be taken on a Zoota Lure (specifically a Wobbly Bob) was caught whilst I was there in the boat. See it here

30.8.08 - COMING SOON - STRAIGHT ALIEN HAIR

I received many enquiries from customers about the possibility of a supplying a 'straight' version of Alien Hair. This has proved tricky because most aliens have gently crinkly hair, but the good news is that I have found and captured one with non-curly locks! All being well ten colours of straight Alien Hair will join the range by mid-September - keep watch on the accessories page!

3.7.08 - Zoota Lures / L.A.S. Pitsford Event

Zoota Lures will be sponsoring a Lure Anglers Society 'fish-in' day at Pitsford on October 26th, details still to be finalised but will appear on the LAS website here

31.5.08 - Fantastic Catch

News of a fantastic pike haul on fies tied with Alien Hair, details here

31.5.08 - Colorite Update

Very little stock left - list updated to reflect this! More details here

21.5.08 - Custom Colours

Unfortunately due to other commitments I cannot take on any more custom colour orders during May and June 2008 - I'm sorry for any inconvenience but hopefully things will be back to normal soon. You can still order standard stock colours as normal.

25.4.08 - Alien Hair

After a much longer than expected delay all colours of Alien Hair are back in stock. (My apologies to those who have been waiting for colours, outstanding orders will be with you very soon.) Two more new colours have been added to the range, unfortunately there has also been a small price increase, but Alien hair is still incredibly value for money! Alien hair details here

3.4.08 - New Link and Picture

New link to 'Fishing in Northamptonshire' Website on links page and new picture on gallery page

3 New colours added to the Alien Hair range, see them listed here

4.3.08 - 34lb Pike on Wagtail

A superb 34lb Pike has been caught on a Wagtail, see it here

4.3.08 - Weighted Wagtail Discontinued

I have discontinued Weighted Wagtails in the standard size, however mini and mega sizes are still available. Basically the mould is dead, and I am working on a slighly modified replacement. Please keep an eye on the site for news of when it is ready.

7.2.08 - Genaral Updates to Site

I have updated a few things; more fishy photos in the gallery, details of Piking 08, pictures of some new flies tied with Alien Hair and probably a few other things that I have forgotten.

22.11.07 - Recent Post Problems

Royal Mail has advised me that some of my incoming mail has been 'waylaid' by an errant postal worker! If you sent any mail to me between July and early November (perhaps even before then), and have yet to receive a reply then please contact me again as it is likely to be due to this. If you sent payment with an order and have heard nothing then I suggest that you cancel the cheque and contact Royal Mail too. My apologies for any inconvenience caused by this problem - which was beyond my control!

16.1.07 - Wobbly Bob and Deep Jack now easily available!

Just after launching these new lures I encountered a supply problem with the weighted hooks used in their construction. Thankfully the hooks are being made again, so you can now order without needing to check if there is any stock left!

16.1.07 - Colour Charts

I am slowly working on colour charts for all the lures. This is not a quick process for a computer dummy, so please bear with me. First to be completed is for Wobbly Bobs, with more to follow soon, keep checking back!
