The master's vise is the most advanced and versatile vise available. It
is for the all around or production tyer and is a must for the salt
water tyer. It will handle any hook from 28 to 10/0 with only one jaw
and will keep the hook shank on the rotary center line. The jaw is
infinitely adjustable to allow the tyer to hold the hook at any part of
the hook bend. The jaw lock is lever operated and requires less than one
quarter the force needed for other lever operated vises to lock the hook
tight enough to be bent. In fact, the lever is only one inch long and is
precisely limited in its travel so the jaw cannot be unnecessarily
overstressed. The master's vise also has the traditional rotary actuator
which allows the tyer to rotate the jaws by spinning the rotary arm. The
arm can be reversed for left hand tying and/or locked in position to
rotate in both directions. The rotary tension unit allows the tyer to
adjust the drag on the rotary shaft from free spinning to a locked
position at any angle desired. The ball bearing head gives precision
alignment and very smooth rotary motion to the shaft.
