Quick take
A compact alloy fly tying vise with rotary action and adjustable jaw tension that holds hook sizes 28 to 4/0.
This is a rotary fly tying vise with adjustable rotary tension, so you can spin the fly to inspect or wrap it from every side. The steel jaws open through a hinge to hold hooks from size 28 up to 4/0, covering midges through large streamers. A heavy base keeps it steady on the bench, and at about 0.38 kilograms packed it travels in its snap-shut plastic box. It suits tyers who want one compact vise for home and the road.
Best for
- Home fly tying shop setup
- Tiers who want full rotation for wrapping and finishing
- Tying everything from small midges to large streamers
Skip if
- You need a pedestal vise for permanent bench mounting
- You tie mostly small midges that need maximum precision
Strengths
- Full rotary action lets you work all sides of the fly without moving
- Adjustable jaw tension accommodates delicate and stout hooks alike
- Heavy base provides stability without clamping
Trade-offs
- Heavy base takes up bench space but is not attached
- Jaw capacity range is wide but sacrifice some precision at extremes
- Travel-unfriendly despite "travel vise" marketing in name
