I totally get what you are saying about the cheesy flies some of the kits produce. But all im really looking for is a foot in the door towards tying. I do not expect to get amazing flies right off the bat. I figure I could use the kit to learn the fundamentals. Then upgrade tools and materials slowly like Sinergy said. I tend to only use a small hand full of patters. My goal is to learn to tie those so I can stop ordering online. I find great deals, but seems like those mass produced (cheaper by the dozen) flies fall apart to easily, and have defects like glue in the eye of the hook.
