Solid starter pack but bobbin issue
I gave it four stars because the bobbin’s edge was sharp and kept fraying thread. I sanded the lip and it now functions. Other items are well made. Delivery was slower than expected, but that may be outside the seller’s control.

Good collection but bobbin is a problem
The bobbin is not ceramic and can nick the thread. Aside from that, there are plenty of components to tie many fly types.

Saved me from buying premade flies
I've tied for about a year and this set reduced how often I buy finished flies. I'd purchase it again.
