Quick take
A rotary fly vise with 360-degree rotation and heat-treated jaws for tying flies from size 28 to 10/0.
A rotary fly tying vise from Dr.Fish that mounts with a C-clamp and comes with a carry case. It is built from aluminum and stainless steel and weighs about 0.64 kilograms, so it packs easily for tying away from home. A good fit for beginners and experienced tyers who want to turn the fly while working on it.
Best for
- Fly tyers from beginner to experienced
- Travel fly tying and at-home setup
- Tying a range of fly sizes
Skip if
- You tie primarily one size range
- You need a stationary bench vise only
Strengths
