Tube Fly Tying things

[Ryan]

Ryan my only problem is most of my tying is done on the road so I want a semi-traveling vice. Jays work is insane. I just worry about the weight and I like tying on c-clamp vices and not on bases. I tie well over 10/0 as well so thats a concern. Whats the max size capability on the J Vice?

Hi Peter,

Take a look at the site. You dont have to opt for the base. He sells 3 different clamps too. In terms of wieight there really is much of a muchness between all of them..

Hi Peter

I've had my Renzetti master for about fifteen years now and can not fault it in any department. I'll never use another vice.

The C-clamp is huge and fits almost any table.

The tube vive can be used on the same C-clamp and it literally weighs only about a hundred grams.

The J-Vice looks better than it used to but it's definitely not a Renzetti

Cheers

I have found white/clear ear buds are cheaper- less dental fees - than sucker sticks. Only problem is the weighting, I battle to get cones for salty buggers etc, so I have started tying them with dumbells.
If you are prepared to live with thses small hassles , you will go a long way.

I was also going to suggest ear buds!

Ear buds are the devil !!
They crumple under the pressure of the wraps and Makes getting the leader through impossible !!
Pen refills and sucker sticks are way better
But the "proper " tubes are cheap nowadays enuff tube and connective tubing for 25 flys is R50
