Ok, I'm want to start tying jigs because it looks like alot of fun, and I have alot of ideas for color combo that I want to try and put together. I saw some tiying kits at bass pro online store and was wondering which would ya'll recommend to get. Theres one with everything for 59.00 that come with some stuff to tie with in it, and on for 29.00 and it just comes with the tools and no material to tie with.

Any advice would be apreciated.

Its been my experience, you get what you pay for to a great degree, I have had bad experience with cheaper vices.

I would avoid a "kit" and instead just go and buy what you need.

A quality vice- you dont need to go too fancy. I got mine out of the bargain cave at cabellas. Decide whats best for you, pedistal or "table clamp"

A bobbin- get a quality bobbin to prevent "broken thread tourettes" I use two different ones. one is a cheaper one that breaks thread- I use that with the black since I use kevlar there. The other one is a better one I use with my finer colored threads.

A pair of small scisssors- Get them in the crafts section. good sharp, fine point.... thats it.

Nail polish- to finish off your "tie"

Thats about all I use.

Pick up your own materials from there.

Pretty soon you will be buying fur and feathers and all sorts of different things to tie with.

Pick your own, I think you will be happier.

Thanks for the advice. I'm going to cabela's Friday to look in they're bargin cave to see if they have any more.

I'm a fly tyer, and I take a different tack than most. If it gets you tying for $59 bucks, then by all means. The vise in the BPS kit will last for a while, and the materials are enough to get the hang of it.

Plus, if you don't like tying, your only out the $59. BUT, there are three things you WILL buy before your done: A better Vice, a Better Bobbin, and better scissors. And if you buy the new vice early enough, you'll have two which really comes in handy.

Once you have the hardware, its all materials after that. I like the kevlar thread, its tough as all get out. I do use a ceramic bobbin, in fact I have 4. Chenille, maribo, and a calf tail will get you started.
