viceless fly tying

[macfly55]

I dont know what you limit is but I can tell you that a few months back I bought a decent kit for 60 - 70 dolloars.. it included a good vise and most of the tools recommended by tyers on this board.. bobbin.. bobbing threader.. whip finisher (which I replaced with a different one).. scissors and a couple of other tools I dont remember.. came in a hard wood case that I can work from.. I also bought a fly kit which gave me directions and materials for 12 hooks.. all totaled it ran about 75 for the start up.. I got this at my local fly shop and I am sure if you check with yours you can find a similar kit.. so far I have messed with it a few times but have not had the time to sit down for an extended period of time to concentrate on it.. I am sure when I do I will be a happy camper.. like you I try to be cost effective at first and then upgrade as needed...

Hope this helps..
