Wapsi Deluxe Wing Burner Mayfly | Brass Wing Burners for Fly Tying

Overview

The Wapsi Deluxe Wing Burner Mayfly is a compact brass tool designed to support precise wing shaping for mayfly patterns and other small flies. Built as a three-piece set, it reflects the standard Wing Burner configuration across Wapsi’s lineup, with the exception of the Stonefly family which includes four pieces. Weight, balance, and a clean brass finish combine to create a tactile, dependable option for busy tying benches.

On your work surface, the warm brass surface catches the light with a subtle sheen, and the pieces align with a satisfying fit. This isn’t just about aesthetics; the carefully sized components work together to help you set wings with control, so you can focus on the overall silhouette of the fly rather than wrestling with components.
