Like Lefty’s Deceiver, this cap is… deceptive. That subtle corduroy-like ribbing is not hot and heavy as you might expect from anything that looks like corduroy. In fact our 5-panel, unstructured Flavour Saver truckers are light and airy, sporting a classic trucker design with an unstructured, relaxed fit that moulds to the shape of your magnificent melon. The adjustable snapback closure ensures a perfect, customisable fit for all head sizes, even Smokey Bear. The pièce de résistance? Our Flavour Saver badge on a velcro backing where you can keep your used flies handy in case they need to swim again. Also available in: Swamp Green 5-panel design Unstructured relaxed fit Adjustable snapback Trucker style mesh panels for ventilation Velcro badge for flies (or whatever) One size fits most.

Introducing Mr Floppy, a medium-wide brim, boonie-style hat in a washed mustard colour with The Mission’s Flavour Saver patch for stashing flies, and an adjustable drawstring. Just as at home bundu-bashing along rivers and across flats as it is as the beach or a braai.

If you find foam truckers a little too country and you are looking for a slick looking cap that still ticks the trucker box, but holds a more discreet shape, then our black retro trucker is for you. Featuring The Mission logo, a matching black snapback colure and black undervisor to handle glare bouncing off the water, it’s a timeless cap that’s at home on your head while fishing as it will be at a braai.

Ask a group of experienced anglers to name the greatest dry fly rod of all time, and the T&T Paradigm is sure to be mentioned more than once. Over twenty years later, we’ve followed the same inspiration that made the original into a legend to create a new Paradigm for the 21st century. While the advance of technology has pushed the limits of rod weight, line speed and casting distance, the essence of stalking a rising trout and presenting the fly remains unchanged. With this in mind, we set out to capture the unique feel that made the original Paradigm fly rods such a magical instrument. “A fine rod is a rod that you can love. You’ve really accomplished something when you make a rod that is the one that people want to reach for before all others.” - Tom Dorsey Features: Lightweight Titanium Single Foot REC guides Matte Titanium finish roll-stamped hardware USA sourced Bird's Eye Maple spacers Beautiful new semi-gloss blue surface finish Hand-written logo, serial numbers, and additional visual accents Ultra-light rods with smooth, medium flex action for exceptional presentations.
