FLY TYING KIT

Introducing a beginner to the hobby of fly tying can be accomplished easily with the purchase of a cost effective fly tying kit.
Most kits generally include all the tools you need to get started tying flies, at least a couple of patterns, a book or two about how to tie flies as well as fur, feathers and other materials that are needed to successfully tie flies.
At first glance, many of these kits look the same, unfortunately not all fly tying kits are created equal. Big differences can be found from one kit to the next. Top quality and use ability of the tools that are included with the fly tying kit, especially the fly tying vise is by far the most important.
Especially true of cheap fly tying vise, poor quality fly tying tools are difficult to use and can be very limiting. The lack of options and ease of use of these fly tying vise can make learning to tie flies much more difficult then it needs to be. When first learning to tie flies with an inexpensive fly tying vise, beginners are frequently frustrated by the extremely limited types of flies that can be tied easily and effectively.
Various fly tying kits that are on the market differ with the amount and quality of the fly tying material found in the kit, so, the more material and tools that are in the fly tying kit, the more expensive the kit will be. With the added materials the beginner will be able to experiment in tying a verity of different types of flies, he/she may even create a brand new fly pattern.
