Getting into fly tying and jig tying is a great hobby and very habit forming. Just think of all the feathers , yarn, bead and hooks you can collect! You'll have the boys looking for bird feathers, cutting pieces of fur off dead animals you find along the road and "browering" thread and yarn from your wife's sewing kit! LOL However if you want to spend your money wisely, I would get into a fly tying class first; to see what tools you like .
