Snowbee Fly Mate Fly tying Vices
Superbly engineered from high quality steel and aircraft aluminium, the jaws are made from high alloy tool steel which has been specially hardened. The Fly-Mate Vices feature a rotational facility which, combined with the cranked jaws shaft ensures that when rotated, the shank of the hook turns around its own axis. Parallel clamping of the hook by means of the 2 jaw clamp screws, ensures secure grip of any hook size from #24 to 8/0.
Available in either desk Clamp style or Pedestal models, an optional extra is a patented ball joint on the vice shaft. This gives movement in all planes, which coupled with the 360° rotation facility allows viewing of the fly from all angles during tying. This facility can be particularly useful when tying very small dry flies or when using Epoxy resin, for Buzzers, or Saltwater flies. The ball joint allows unlimited movement so the Epoxy can be accurately “run” into the required shape while it sets.
