Fly tying vises are an integral part of fly tying. They hold fly fishing hooks steady while the fly tier applies the materials that turn the hooks into flies ready to attract the fish of his or her choosing. Some vises come with their own platforms while others are clamped to the table or workbench that the tier is using. One of the most noticeable aspects when choosing a fly tying vise is the large price range between entry level vises and vises that are high end. Depending on brand and features, vises can start at twenty dollars and end up in the hundreds of dollars. High end fly tying vises are truly precision tools that can be counted on for a lifetime of use.

The best buy on the market, giving true rotary action and other features that cost much more on other fly-tying vises. The jaws swivel on two ball bearings to bind the materials around the hook when it rotates, making it faster and easier to tie professional-looking flies. The jaws, made of top-quality, tempered steel, hold hooks of all sizes completely immovable, yet open and close using a simple cam-arm system. Comes with a bobbin rest/wire holder that’s indispensable for creating top-quality patterns. Includes C-clamp.
This is the vise that started it all, the PEAK Rotary Vise. Designed for optimal tying efficiency and ease of adjustment and set-up. Materials (including Stainless Steel, Brass, Tool Steel, and Aircraft Aluminum) are chosen to last a lifetime of tying. Hardened and tempered tool steel jaws hold hooks, from size 2 (depending on exact hook wire diameter) down to the smallest you can buy, securely. All adjustments are accomplished with minimal effort. The large stable base will hold this vise where you set it, and the non-marking feet protect the surface you set it on. The steel base is powder coated in white, for a surface that will stand up and provide a backdrop you can see your materials against. The base also includes an integrated hook/bead pocket with rounded edges for ease of removal, and our accessory post mounting hole (accessory post not included). The base is designed to pack flat with the vise removed for travel. The rotation resistance adjustment screw provides infinite adjustment and is easily manipulated. A height and length adjustable bobbin cradle and pivot mount are supplied with the vise. Loosening a single set screw allows the vise to be removed for travel, the brass tip on the set screw prevents marring the vise shaft.
