The vise is usually the first piece of equipment purchased for fly tying, there are fly vises at all prices and obviously the best ones are not the cheapest. However, it is not essential to begin with a top of the range vise, as your first price vise can be used for tying large hooks when it has become less appropriate for tying small flies. On Moucheshop you will find low cost entry level vises and the Regal brand vises which are top of the range in quality and simplicity.
