[font "Comic Sans MS"][#008000][size 3]I use Diiachi hooks which costs $4.50 +tax for a pack of 25, so that is about 20 cents per. Material will include lead wire, marabou plume, hackle, chenille & thread. Since a packages of all these materials are rather inexpensive [except the hackle] perhaps that would add another nickle to your total cost. Like a package of marabou is abt 1 $1.50 will tie you a whole bunch of flies. BTW if you are looking to save money, you would have to tie a gazillion flies to break even considering cost of a vice & tools and a whole assortment of hooks and thread. I enjoy tying for it beats watching the boob tube. If I'm making a trip which requires tying up some new flies I will google it's name and get a step by step illustration on YouTube.[/size][/#008000][/font]
