Tying Flies

[flygoddess]

I too bought a kit several years ago...still have that vise however, but I agree, an up grade is inevitable.
I don't understand about the material being crap however.
I will agree and stated that a good bobbin and scissors are a must, but the vise can get you a few flies, then I used it to dry flies or display flies[laugh][laugh]

If you go out and buy the major investment of tools and vise, you still need to look at the material. Hooks anywhere from $3.00 to $6.00 (some even more) per 25. Then dubbing, what color? at anywhere from $2. to $5., same with Chenille. Now hair, looking at a little more and FEATHERS!!!! well, hopefully the fashion statement will die off.
Threads- $2. and up Wire - $2. and up, Floss, etc.....

So, in essence, the kit I posted, buy the material for a Haresear, a copper john, pupas, midges, buggers, etc.....I think you will be surprised at how much you just spent, where as for $70. you got a fair supply of each of these, plus the extras...Just sayin' not all kits are created equal.
Oh, and every fly in this kit is a keeper.
