I've wanted to try fly tying for years, but didn't want to invest very much to find out I wasn't any good, so I picked up this tool kit. I played around with it for a while (the tools are very useful for all kinds of fishing tasks) and then made a real effort to learn. I've tied lots of flies since then, and this kit served me well. It is certainly up to the task for a beginner or someone wanting a portable tying kit (the vice attaches to the box which then becomes a mini-tying desk). I've finally upgraded to a much nicer (and 10 times more expensive) vice, which I enjoy, but I would still be fine tying with this kit if it's all I had. The tools are also a great value and I've only upgraded for a smaller, sharper pair of scissors and a ceramic bobbin. Indeed, I will continue to use this kit when I travel to fishing destinations so I can tie up the hottest flies on the spot.
