I am kind of intrigued by this.....how is it for tying flies with an
asymmetric body, such as a pheasant tail nymph, that has a shell back?

enough of a pain to make you rush out and buy a Renzetti or Danvise, or
stick with any of a couple dozen quality stationary vises. Mind you, I
am a big fan of rotary tying. It comes in handy for ribbing and hackling
even if you aren't tying production, and makes production tying
considerably quicker on some types of patterns. Still, I found the
Norvise to be far more gimmick than all-around tying tool. YMMV, of
course. That Frank swears by it is a plus....it must, at least, be safe
to use.g
