    Default Everything you need to Tie!!!

    Hi,

    Remember these? What I find so interesting is that if you look at the contents of the inside upper right, you see a spool of thread and a small container of wax - Pre waxed thread!

    Interesting to look at, I think.






    And several pages of instructions:

    When I was 10 years old I mail ordered a Hank Roberts flytying kit that looked very much like the one in your photo.

    That is an awesome kit. What year is it from. I found the container that the wax comes in doesn't have a closable container. It looks more like what you would put katsup, at a to go place. I to would love to see pictures of the vise

    I'm not familiar with "Monga Hair" for streamers. Is that another name for "Nauga" or "Yeti"??

    Monga Hair is from the island of Mong. It is the hair of the indigenous chimp located there.

    I have one of those vises I got in a package of misc. Fly tying stuff. I wondered where it came from...looks completely unusable.

    The "vise" is that shiny long, slender item in the far right of the contents of the box.

    Reminds me very much of my first kit back in the 80's. I dont think my vise was that nice though but I think I had that picture identifying the parts of the fly. At least one very similar.

    Yes, I figure that out. Was wondering what it looked like set up.
