gpd4 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2010 So I spotted a neat little box on eBay a couple weeks ago. It was a wooden cube (almost) with two removable shelf/trays that I really wanted to use for a camper box. As I read deeper in to the auction, there are pictures of several packs of hooks, 5 bobbins, 3 hemostats, 2 cheapo scissors, a few spools of thread & tinsel, some decent hackle, a couple of zingers, a couple of knot tiers, 15 spools of Umpqua tippet materia (2lb-40lb and I believe all sizes in between), and a BRAND NEW REGAL MEDALLION VISE with the standard bronze pedestal. All for $144 shipped. :yahoo: :yahoo: It got here today and I can't wait to play with it... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gpd4 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2010 Here's the box With the trays out Tray 1 Tray 2 Some tweezers More tools Scissors & Hemostats Some of the hooks 15 spools of tippet material A blood knot tool Some extra bobbins The box & vise Vise base Vise head I didn't get to use it last night. :crying: And I'm playing carpenter this weekend and framing out a friends basement so I likely won't even see it until sometime next week... The vise seems to be absolutely new. There isn't even a scratch in the jaws. The base still has a small sticky spot from the price tag (I assume). There were 3 flies in there that I believe were tied by whoever sold this (very crude - looked just like my very first three), and maybe 10 more that I think were store bought (basically perfect flies), so I'm guessing there were a grand total of 3 hooks ever clamped in this thing. Now I just need to divide the 'home' tools from the 'travel' tools and separate out some common materials and pick a weekend to sit by the river and scare fish with my horrible casting...

I'd hardly call store bought flies "perfect" Anyways, great find it looks like solid craftsmanship and the tools and vise will serve you well, I'm sure.
