Covid-19 Announcement

Finesse-Fishing.com is located in New York City, which is essentially locked down.

Package pickup has been suspended. My neighborhood post office is closed. I go outside as little as possible because I am in an "at risk" group.

Finesse-Fishing.com is still open, for now, but I do not know when I will mail packages again.

Most international flights have been cancelled, so there is no ETA for out-of-stock items that come from Japan.
