Due to work commitments I often find myself away from home for several days at a time in hotels. Where time tying a few flies in the room is very preferable to spending every night in the bar. Also where fishing with holidays is combined a vice to take with me is a real bonus. I am not a great tier but enjoy tying and not been able to tie flies on the spot frustrates me.
Anyway I have had a couple of so called travel vices the only thing I can say is that they were great for travelling but rubbish as vices . Then some time ago I became aware of these.............
These fold up flat and the head assembly detaches as does the handle . The engineering is very fine the hook hold is brilliant and it looks like a million dollars or perhaps i should say Euros ,Better still it is very transportable . The tripod base in very stable and the hook hold very good . So far its handled size 12 to 20 hooks with equal ease. The vise is by Cottarelli lets hope that it doesnt rust like the Italian cars of my youth does...
