I’ve just started fly tying, but my thread keeps snapping at the point where it leaves the bobbin holder - the edge is a bit sharp which I think is the cause.
And my borrowed vice from the angling club is a rather basic model and leaves much to be desired.
Can anyone recommend some decent entry-level implements that won’t break the bank?
Cheers

Ceramic bobbing holders are usually the best bet but I have heard from a couple of people having problems with some of those.
These could be worth a look and won't break the bank:
