Colorado Anglers Z797 Wooden Fly Tying Standard Tool Kit, Fly Fishing Vise, Bobbin, Threader, Bodkin, Dubbing Twister, Hackle Pliers, Scissors, Whip Finisher

The packaging and case were both impressive when I received this product. A little self-learning allows me to use the product, which seems to be a good case for the price. New to fly tying, this seems like a good case for the price. It is here where I have the most complaints. The ad shows a book/pamphlet with it, and so I paid the extra 9 dollars for this reason, because I found the same item cheaper without the instruction book. Kit did not have instructions and I did not receive a book. As a result, we have given it a In terms of the product itself, it appears to be well built for the price point, albeit the vise is not top of the line. I tied my first popper with this device. A travel kit like this could be a nice item for those who are interested in Despite being out of the extra money for the unreceived extras, I am still thankful.

Metal is eaten away by the screws, causing the shaft to rotate. In any case, I am not being rough with it. BUT this method will work and is fine if you are not sure you want to learn fly tying.

Everything is cheaply made. The situation will not last long. The item was purchased as a gift, but I was very disappointed when it was opened. It is the vice that is the most frustrating. There is no smooth adjustment or even a good adjustment. The hook stays on by allowing you to clamp down on it until you clam all the way down then it loosens, in other words, the only way to make the hook stay on is by half clamping. There is nothing of value whatsoever, except the bobbin and the whip finisher, both of which are low-quality items.

The only reason I rate this vise two stars is because it first introduced me to tying my own flies. I would say the tools are fine, although the bobbin needs to be glued so that it won't come loose or slip. However, the vice itself is a piece of junk, as it does not hold hooks especially well, unless you press down on the lever, which makes the vice part peel off and then you have to glue it on, which For now, I am using mine as a temporary vise until my new permanent vise arrives, and I am using glue and duct tape to fix it. say, it was not a very pleasant experience to tie a knot. It is worth it to spend double the money and get the materials you need if you plan to tie more than 1/2 dozen flies in one day.

I have learned how to tie jigs after using it. could take the book into the hospital to keep myself entertained during my 26-day hospital stay for surgery to replace my bone marrow. My favorite part of this was the ending. The tool set had everything I needed in terms of tools, and was compact and lightweight.

A sturdy and well made box is included, as well as all of the appropriate tools. Although the vice is not as fancy as his at home, it will free him up from the burden of carrying all of his gear! Additionally, I found that it is more difficult to adjust the vice for a smaller hook than it is for a larger one. All in all, I believe it will be a nice gift that he will appreciate.

It is by far the best deal you can get for your money. This starter kit contains all the materials needed to tie a fly. Negative people are dummies or competitors who aim to harm the brand. Fly tying is easy with this tool kit because everything is included and is easy to use. There is no need to buy a $100 vise to get started. I love the quality of the box, and I really like how convenient it is to pack it up and organize it.
