Also, if you want ot discuss materials and technique stop at First Light Anglers in Rowley or Rivers Edge in Beverly. Both shops also have classes and all the materials you will need.

GREAT IDEA!!! I have an expensive Regal cam action flytying vise that would never open wide enough to hold a real hook, frustrated me for years until I finally wrenched the lever further than it was supposed to go to see what would happen....................and ruined it.
I've been looking for something better for 2 years now. Your idea just saved me the price of a fancyass Renzetti!
