Fly Tying Vise
The AeroGrip 360 Fly Tying Vise
A fly tying vise is a specialized tool used by anglers to create artificial flies for fly fishing. These flies are crafted to mimic the appearance and behavior of insects or other small creatures that fish commonly feed on. The vise holds the hook firmly in place, allowing the person tying the hook to use both hands to attach and secure various materials, such as feathers, fur, and thread, to the hook.
Key features include:
Jaw Mechanism: The jaws of the vise are designed to securely clamp onto hooks of various sizes. They can be adjusted to accommodate different hook types and sizes.
Rotary Function: Many modern vises have a rotary function, which allows the user to rotate the hook 360 degrees. This feature makes it easier to apply materials evenly around the hook and inspect the fly from all angles.
Base: The vise is mounted on a sturdy base (5x7 inches) which has a non-slip pad on the bottom, but I still recommend the use of a clamp(s) when tying. The base also includes extruded slots for organizing small parts.
Adjustment Mechanisms: These allow the user to fine-tune the position of the hook for optimal access and comfort while tying.
