Having not purchased new tying equipment in over 50 years when I purchased mine from the now defunct Herter's mail order company, I was a little shocked at some of the prices for some of the latest and greatest equipment like vises. One can also get sticker shock looking at fly rods and reels. Fortunately they also can last a long time if taken care of. I'm still using my Dad's bamboo fly rod and Pflueger medalist reel that have to be close to 60 years old or older.
