Start with an assortment of hooks of the size and type you need for saltwater flies and a few dumbbell eyes. Since you are on a limited budget, I would decide on about 4 or 5 flies you want to have and look up the recipes and only buy the tying supplies for those flies for now. You’ll need to invest in tools also. Welcome to another addiction, you’ll end up with so much tying material you’ll have to continually tell yourself how much money you are saving.
Here is the old antique file cabinet I use to store most (but no all) of my materials, and I continue to buy more!
I plan on living forever, so far so good

I also am looking at a vise. Thinking about stopping into LCF this weekend and seeing what they have. Want to start tying my own.

mustad 34007 hooks, small lead eyes, bead chain, bobbin holder, bobbin, tan, white, and black bucktail, crystal flash…tie clousers and catch fish. expand when you get proficient with clousers…but they will work all winter. tan & white and all black will do the trick.
