sexyloops fly tying school - regal vise

t.z. | Friday, 14 October 2016

I mentioned things one does not need when tying flies. very traditional people might even say you do not need a vise (or vice) ... I have seen guy like Mike Townend tie flies on their hands - meaning the hold the hook in between thumb and forefinger. Cool, and certainly working for larger flies, but a fly tying vise is damn handy thing to have.

With vises, as in many other things in life, I prefer simple and sturdy. I have been through most of the one available on the market and a few years back I ended up having a Regal Vise. Since I like this thing more and more every day. It does the job in such easy and reliable manner.

I like vises with a base. The Regal base is heavy, really heavy. It stays where you put it - given that it is a flat surface. Some people like to mount their vises to a table with clamp. They offer this option too ... personal preference really. oh isn´t that cool with all these gizmos ... soon x-mas again. Start your wishlist ;-)

Recently they came out with a little factory video - bit "old school" and sort of "Harley Davidson" ... and very cool to watch. Enjoy!
