I bought a dun Whiting quarter saddle for the first time, and the quality and value is impressive. The coolest thing is that the quarter saddles are available in #14 and smaller. I don't tie dun hackled flies smaller than 14, so there's no waste.
I've also upgraded my crappy starter kit vise with a Renzetti ped base Traveler. A nice vise is an unnecessary luxury, but tying is much more fun when the vise doesn't let go of the hook in the middle of a tie. Also, the rotary function lets me tie in ribbing, dubbing and hackling much more neatly. I doubt I'll catch more fish, but I like having neat flies.
