Hey Guys,
At the moment I have a "starter" set that I had received as a gift about 9 years ago. While I enjoy attempting to tie certain things I find my equipment lacking....especially the vise.
I was wondering if I was to start over from scratch and put together a small set up to tie the main patterns of flies (adams, bugger, pheasant and hare ear nymphs...etc) what should I look into getting?
I know I need a vise, but a rotary vise? Griffen Spider Vise a decent one to start out with?
What type of thread am I going to need, materials, etc?
Does tying your own save you money in the long run?
You guys have been a big help on everything, and I figured if I had a question and it related to fly fishing to go ahead and ask it here.
Thanks,
Steven
