Quick take
A five-piece fly tying tool set with whip finisher, bobbin, threader and scissors for basic fly construction.
This five-piece fly tying set pairs a whip finisher, a bobbin holder, a disc threader, a small tool and a pair of pointed arrow scissors, all in brass and stainless steel. The threader helps guide fine thread through the bobbin tube, so you skip fiddling with it by hand. Each piece is compact enough to fit in a palm or a pocket, which suits tying at the bench or touching up flies on the water. It is a straightforward starter kit for anglers beginning to tie their own flies.
