Category — Tying Flies

One of the local fly shop owner/guide/tiers uses one of these and they are slick. We’re talking some serious vise envy…
From the Nor-vise official website:
“Developed by professional research engineer and fly tier Norm Norlander, the Nor-Vise and Automatic Bobbin are truly innovative tools. Unlike other “Rotary Vises” that rotate only to position the hook, the Nor-Vise is designed to turn the hook to apply material. With the hook shank held in perfect alignment with the axis of rotation (on centerline) it works like a lathe and provides for better thread tension control and more precise material placement.”
