Default tying tools, magnifier

Having reached the point where I wish to tie something besides wooly buggers
I have decided to concentrate on the caddis.

Buggers, in their variations and methods of fishing are the number one bait,
IMHO, for smallmouth bass.

Although I am sure many conflicting opinions exist, I have about reached
that opinion for caddis and trout.

In any event, I am not nor never will be a professional tier. I am not nor
will be a tier whose flies are works of art, pretty to look at or even merit
showing to others. I am still using the tools and necks I got in the Cabelas
kit ten years ago and just purchased another kit (the same) from ebay.

So please, do not assume that I am in the market for the 'hot' set-up. What
I am in the market for is something to help me see a little better. I need a
magnifier.

I have looked at Bass pro

and Cabelas

Also http://www.ezflyfish.com/mckenmag.html

I am thinking that the 'great big around' glass that swings out of the way
would be easier for me. If anyone would care to make a comment I would love
to here it. I would rather purchase a product from someone here or in ROFF
if at all possible.

....Oh great Hackle Masters this humble born of a dyed barnyard rooster neck
doth humbly beg your guidance......
