Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Good Reasonably Priced Fly-Tying Kit for Beginner

I tied for a while on an entry-level vise and did okay, but I really do think Scott has it right here. 

Put it this way -- any vise on the market that currently costs ~$300 or more is likely to be the best thing you've ever used and will probably last until you are dead or moribund. I love the dyna-king vises.   

If I regret anything, it is not going for the dyna-king sooner

I had the wapsi kit as well, and the arm to close the vise jaws snapped on me after about a year.  The instructional booklet was helpful though for learning some basic techniques, and it came with some decent tying materials.  It's nice to have all of the tools (bobbin, scissors, etc) come in the kit as well and not have to buy those separately.  I'd say it's good enough to start out on but if you really start getting into tying, you'll want to upgrade the vise for sure.
