Re: [VFB] Fly tying Starter Kit

[Ken Staples]

I've used the vice in the BPS kit. It was my first one and it held a hook alright. I tied 14 to 1/0 on it. I did wear it out after 6 months or so. I then upgraded to a traveler. I went in with the mindset that I'd be upgrading the vice and buy a better one after I knew what I liked/disliked.

I would watch out for the vise in the kit.  There are good cheap
vises out there, but I have seen some really awful ones come out of
fly tying kits.  Learning is hard enough without having to fight with
a vice that won't hold a hook.
