I'll give it a shot as well.... For tying it would be tough to part with my Nor-Bobbins, once you use them for a bit and learn to hold on to the spool so it doesn't wind all the thread back in. My whip finisher with the replacable razor blade, bodkin/half hitch tool, rotary vise (either Dan Vise or Nor vise), these things are in daily use on the bench here. As far as fishing though, ZINGERS!!!! They are great when you attach each fly box to one. Since I started using them I haven't lost a flybox. Other than that I use a mitten clamp hemo with micro serrations, a hook sharpener, and of course nippers.
