Find a shop that you are comfortable dealing with and build a kit, most kits have a lot of materials that you may not use. Decide on what patterns you want to fish and base your material and tool selection off of those patterns, this will keep your start up costs low.


No point in paying $25 for a brass hair stacker if your not going to tie deer hair patterns just yet.

What you need is a vice, good quality scissors, hackle pliers, whip finisher and a couple of bobbins, with that you can tie a most nymphs and streamers
