  1. I agree for the most part with what Poopdeck says, as I'm the cheapest bastard around when he's not here, but I do enjoy tying on my Renzetti and would have a hard time giving it up, but it doesn't help me tie better flies.  

    Even after spending money on a quality vise  

    $225

    you should have no problem getting the basics with the balance. 

    A 25 count of Mustad streamer hooks in #8 and 10 for buggers  #12, 14 for dries

    $25

    brass beads to match streamer hooks

    $7

    2 packs of chenille in color of your choice

    $8

    2 packs of marabou to match chenille

    $9

    one wooly bugger saddle pack

    $12

    one black and one white spool of thread, markers laying around the house for different colors

    $7

    two basic bobbin holders

    $7

    any old bodkin will do

    $3

    basic scissors

    $15

    a roll of lead wire, a roll of copper wire

    $7

    super fine dubbing dispenser

    $14

    Whiting 100 packs in grizzly and brown x4

    $90

    Grand total $429

    That should keep him tying some pretty crappy looking flies that will still catch fish with plenty left over for some flash, rubber legs, craft foam, nail polish, glue, hackle pliers, or whatever.

    A general Oct Caddis waking fly will do.  I however was thinking of something down the line of a non-tube version of this:

    Thanks.  Yeah, that image came up on my search.  Muddler-like.

    Next up: Fall Caddis Waking Fly

    I'll take it.  I've got a vague idea in mind, give me a day or two to see what falls off the vise.
