Quick take
An entry-level rotating fly tying vise with 360-degree rotation, ideal for beginner and intermediate fly tyers.
The Odyssey Spider is a true rotary fly tying vise, so you can spin the fly a full turn to wrap materials around the hook shank. Its steel jaws hold hooks from tiny size 28 midges up to 4/0, which covers trout flies through big streamers. It clamps to a table and includes a bobbin cradle, making it a sensible first rotary vise for a new tyer.
