Crazyboy 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2006 Can anyone recommend a startup kit to tie basic saltwater flies? Just getting some interest in tying flies and wanted t give it a shot without spending too much money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MTtyer 0 Report post Posted November 5, 2006 You may consider starting off tying some Clousers. It would take a few bucktails in different colors (about $3.00 each), some saltwater hooks, some barbell eyes, some head cement, and maybe a little crystal flash. There are plenty of step by step tying instructions on the web or post any questions and someone will be glad to guide you through. Good luck. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted November 5, 2006 For Clousers and Decievers, white, chartreuse and gray bucktail, some strung white Deceiver hackle and pearl christal flash. Dumbell eyes and 3/0 thread and hooks and you're good to go. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
