Default Rotary Fly Tying Vises

Hi Jim,

Jim Edmondson a écrit :

For those experienced tyers out there, is having the ability to rotate
the hook as useful as it appears to a novice?


Yes it is.

What are the downsides? One thing I thought of is with the bobbin on
the stand and the hook rotating to add body materials, the thread will
twist, is this an issue?


Not an issue at all. Thread will twist anyway when you get it on the hook.

Are there other rotating vise systems out there in addition to the one
from Nor-Vise tha I should consider?


I have a Dyna-King Barracuda and it can take a beating without any
problem and it hold hooks from size 24 to 2/0 (the smallest and largest
I tied) without any problem. I had others vices before, Regal and
Sunrise, and would not go back.
