Default Re: Fly tying kit

Hard to tell.The vice looks OK though most of the tools I doubt you'd ever use.Its like most things its getting the balance right between gear that's half decent enough for you to find out whether or not its your thing and paying too much. One thing I would say....far better to fork out on a couple of pairs of decent scissors than a big range of pretty basic quality tools or materials that you'll hardly ever use. The kit looks attractive but those are very ordinary tools. If you take to this those will very soon be consigned to the bin never to be used again.

Dont underestimate the cost of materials either...thread,hooks,tinsels, wire, fur,feathers etc. It soons mounts up if you're starting from scratch and there will be blunders along the way.I've bags & bags of material I bought in my wide eyed innocence and have never ever used.
