Travel fly tying kit

[Brutha]

Robbie - thanks! Looks nice, but probably a bit extravagant for me!

Dave - Aha, I think we have a winner! And a budget to match my tying skills as well! I shall do some internet shopping..... Thanks!

I have handled the C+F Marco Polo and please believe me they are grossly overpriced.  All C+F product is expensive and this is usually in my own case justified by the fact that the quality of their stuff is exceptional. The Marco Polo however is just very small and extremely fiddly.

now i'm home, here's a couple of photos. in keeping with my hard-drinking, heavy metal lifestyle mine's a fetching shade of pink. I think it's the ladies version in large. this should come as no surprise to those who know me..... :

note the incredibly shite vice, too  :lol:

incidentally, I found some beads i'd forgotten I had whilst doing this, so cheers for that

ps the main compartment with the feathers poking out is cavernous.

Yes couldnt agree more,guy had the kit on a trip I was on and tried it.Its tiny, would probably struggle above size  10 and uncomfortable to use being so small.

I use a Danvice for travel, very light and compacts down nice.Keep everything in a wash bag like Daves,I tie most of my flies at work and find it best to plan to do one type of pattern a week,so I only take the materials and hooks for that fly.
