FLY-WHEEL 720 VISE
Info: The 720 VISE™ is a ground breaking 720-degree true-rotary fly tying vise. After almost a year of further development, the 720 Vise™ is more refined and more user friendly than ever. 720 Vise™ is packed with features that set new standards for the industry. For example, a carefully engineered gallows system. It works on two axis, one axis along the center of the hook shank, the other axis perpendicular to the hook shank and the two axis cross each other. It has a multi-part base assembly and a bearing mechanism which will provide a lateral rotation of the jaws. The vise base can be locked in different positions laterally for using the vise as a regular rotary vise or working on a fly from different directions, such as right handed or left handed. The vise makes tying parachute and extended-body fly patterns much easier. Better yet, all the parts you see here come with the vise. To purchase please go to www.flyfishingcrazy.com.
