Hello, Tony. 
I have a damsel cutter from you that I have cut over 4,000 bodies with - and am still using...Great product!

I'll be needing a new custom wing cutter later this season and since, the one I purchased before is working out so well, you'll get my business again.

Thanks again.

Our thanks to BH for his website and product suggestions.  We've incorporated some, and are considering implementing the rest.  We really appreciate customer feedback, and do our best to act on input received.  It's always valuable!

Tony, Kathi,

Just received the cutters and could not be more pleased.  Stayed up late last night just to get a few flies tied...now to find some time to go fishing!

Received your pictures and e-mail and they are both wonderful.  It's always a pleasure to do business with a family-owned business--one always receives that personal touch.

Thanks for everything.

I can not thank you enough for your super products and service. Your package arrived today in perfect shape and right on time. This will be both a surprise and delight for my fly-fishing fiend of a wife. I also want to thank you for the generous "lagniappe" as we say down here in Cajun country.

From a customer who wasn't delighted with one cutter received in his set...

Hey Kathi
 I just got my new cutters! I cant tell you how much that means to me you guys sending me a brand new set of cutters! Im blown away I just thought I was gonna be sent one piece of the hopper not an entire brand new kit!!! You truly have a customer for life, I've never have seen that level of customer satisfaction in all my life! I wish you and your husband all the best and look forward to purchasing and recommending others to these truly amazing and quality cutters! Sincerely, happy tyer,
Chris M

Tony,
I purchased the Tomsu Supreme hopper set a little over  a year ago.  I have recently lost the  instructions and was wondering if you would be so kind as to email me a  copy of the  instructions to tie this fly. 
I love your products,
Travis Ga

Hello,

   I just got my hopper cutters this week and they are great! It turns out they are pretty easy to tie. I'm going to have quit showing them off if I'm ever going to get to keep some for myself.

  Thanks for the great products!

 William P

Just wanted you to know I got the cutters this afternoon. I cut out a hopper all from one thickness of foam cuz it was all I had, slapped one together as fast as I could just to see if they work and the picture attached is the result. Sorry for it being out of focus, I used my cell phone. The ice has barely left the water here and we are a few weeks from hopper season and it still works!

 Thanks so much!

 Roy

Hey guys,   Well I tie in bursts,   Love your stuff, just makes tying some patterns so much easier.   Still experimenting with it, trying new materials and coming up with some new patterns for local conditions.   Off fishing for a week.

Thanks once again.   Cheers.   Rod

      Thanks, Richard!

Hmmmm....  Do hoppers really work on trout?

These photos attest to Harry Schoel's success on the Big Hole using Tomsu's Supreme Hopper™ Cutter  Set to tye up some very functional flies.

   These photos also demonstrate that Harry is an incredible tyer and fisherman.

Thanks for sharing photos with us, Harry.  Good luck fishing and tying!
