We ended up going with the cabela's because of the materials included. I
think he could get more use out of it. He wants one of his own and this will
do the trick.
Thanks to all my responses.

Charlie: I got this one here
http://www.basspro.com/servlet/catalog.TextId?hvarTextId=27765&hvarDept=175&hvarEvent=&hvarClassCode=4&hvarSubCode=1&hvarTarget=browse
at bass pro shop. Mine has the "Master" vise, instead of the AA that I
think
is shown here.. And these are on sale right now for only $39.98..On the
master vise (which I think is the vise that is in the saltwater kit they
also have on sale) I have tied flies from #26 up to a # 1/0.. Mine has two
sets of jaws that work very well for me, although I would like a rotary now
that I have been tying enough to realize the advantages of the rotaries.
The
only real problems I had with the kits is that the hackle feathers in
general were much too big for the hooks included, but I am still using all
the tools that came with that kit with no breakage at all (knock on wood)
LOL.. HTH, Chuck
