Details: The Rock Creek vise is ideal for a beginner wishing to upgrade to a rotary vise or an experienced fly tier looking for an inexpensive vise or lightweight travel vise for that trip away. Over all construction is anodized aircraft-grade 6061 aluminum, to minimize weight whilst retaining tensile strength and durability, with hardened and tempered steel jaws. The vise is accompanied by a sturdy C-clamp to anchor it in place. The in-line head assembly rotate 360 degrees, this allows the tier to view the fly from all angles. By rotating the screw on the C-clamp the height of the vise can be adjusted. The hard chromium carbon steel jaw accommodate size #22 to #1/0 fly hooks. Please note that this is an approximation as the gauge of the wire used to manufacture fly hooks do vary from brand to brand.
