Didn't want to hijack the other tube fly thread anymore then we already did, so I thought I should start a new one. (Deon's thread got me thinking about the subject again.)
For those of you that tie tubes, do you use any of the ball/cone/teardrop head tubes? Brass tubes or just any free (Q-tip type) tube you can find?
I saw this starter kit, that didn't seem like too bad of a deal.

Not counting the vice attachment/pin to hold the tube, and besides the tubes and cones heads or beads, are there any other special items or material that would not normally be found in an average fly tyer's materiel stash?
