Landon P 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2020 Here is a fun little thread to keep us entertained. What is the worst possible advice you could give to a new fly tier? I will go first "Buy the cheapest tool set and vise you can find. They dont do anything anyways." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Poopdeck 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2020 the worst advise I can think of is, spend all your money on top shelf tying tools, because the tools make the tier, rather than a retirement fund so you can work till the day you die. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocco 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2020 Watch videos that evolve around around patterns using arcane materials/tools solely available through the sponsor of the video. Go all out imitating patterns that the tyer has not even tried on fish. Watch 15 minute long videos that present a simple "1 minute " tying pattern. wunbe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is more of a way to kill time and maybe get a good laugh. That would be terrible to give out terrible advice! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2020 Nothing wrong with the least expensive set of tools. I started with a kit of tools that was, probably, the cheapest thing I could find. The vise lasted close to 30 years. I still have a $100.00 vise, since I "moved on" to a true rotary vise. Still using the bobbin holder from that set, too. I can't think of "worst advice" ... but I agree with Poopdeck, " ... spend all your money on top shelf tying tools, because the tools make the tier ...

Landon P 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2020 Oh i got another one. When you buy a fly combo buy the highest weigh possible they can be used on all fish Also dont use waders there uncomfortable and dont have a purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
