Overview
A true rotary fly tying vise from the Kingfisher Clarkfork line, built from aluminum with an anti-slip jaw and finished in gold.
True rotary vises let the jaws spin in line with the hook shank so thread and material wraps stay even as the tier rotates the head, a feature aimed at tiers moving beyond a basic fixed vise.
- True rotary mechanism
- Aluminum construction
- Anti-slip jaw
- About 1.2 kg weight, gold finish
Who it's for
Suited to fly tiers upgrading their bench who want rotary function for even wraps on segmented bodies. Less necessary for someone tying only a handful of simple patterns a year.
Pros and cons
- True rotary head for even wraps
- Anti-slip jaw grip
- Substantial base weight for stability
- No clamp size range listed
- Aluminum finish may show wear over time
Performance notes
The anti-slip jaw is meant to hold hooks securely through the rotation cycle, since a jaw that lets a hook shift mid-rotation defeats the purpose of a rotary head. At about 1.2 kilograms, the vise carries enough mass to stay planted on a desk during use.
