This vise is for the tyer who is mainly interested in tying small flies
and streamers. The jaw is slender and set at an angle to allow maximum
finger clearance behind and around the hook. This uniquely angled jaw
allows the hook to be held so the hook shank is on the center line of
the rotary shaft when using the rotary feature of the vise. The hook
shank will, therefore, turn on its own axis so your thread, hackle or
any other material will be smoothly wound onto the hook with precision
and ease.
