No problem. Thanks for the help.

Wrong vise :p That's a standard traveler; I'm actually looking for this one:

I will check that out, but I always have been more than a little leary of purchasing anything off of ebay.

Nathan

So far the best price I've found is $169.95 on Renzetti's own website.

EDIT: actually, it looks like you can purchase everything *but* vises at Renzetti's site. The search continues....

Last spring, after having not fly fished for a couple years, I built 2 new outfits to replace the aging (and, quite frankly, cheap) original equipment: one was a 9-foot 9 weight for big bass flies...

I'm almost done building the 9-wt outfit I posted about a few weeks back; the only thing left to get is the fly line (running line + shooting head). I am going with RIO for this, and the running line...

That did it :)I selected the shortest of the darning needles that I have(theyr'e all still a pretty good size),and the collet that you have pictured, and slid the needle in so that the clamp was just...

Jim, is there any special "trick" to getting the needle set correctly in the dremel? I couldn't find a long, straight upholstery needle to use (haven't looked at a hobby shop yet), but I do have a...

No poppers yet. Still setting stuff up :) Bought a dremel this evening, and I'm waiting for the punches I ordered to come in. Should be able to actually start on them in the next week or so.

Nathan

Guess I'll pick up the little collet set this weekend, then :)

Nathan

Well, the punches are on the way, and I just picked up a dremel 400XPR kit. The high-end dremel might be overkill, but it seemed like the best way to get the tool and the flex extension, which was...

How big around are the larger punches?

Nate

Nice :) I ordered that set from JCW last night, and like I said in my reply to duckster - as nice as a drill press might be, I've got nowhere to go with one in this apartment. I wonder if or how I...

Well, for now the punches will work. I don't have a drill press, and even if I did, I live in a little 2-bedroom apartment - nowhere to go with it :-P

Nathan

I saw that one last night, and I was going to order it if I didn't find anything else. But I just came across...

Read it last night - good article. But does anybody know where I can find a set of punches like the ones he mentions? I did find...

On this site, I assume?

Thanks for the suggestions so far everybody - I've got some reading to do this evening. I have the day off tommorow,...

Which of the dremel tools do you use, and what attachements do you use? I am looking at the new dremel stylus, which looks like it would be the easiest to handle when working on small stuff. of...

unless you know of another good way to taper a piece of wood or foam for poppers, sliders, and minnows :-P Any suggestions? I *am* considering getting a dremel tool; that should help.

Nathan

I have been a spin- and baitcast- warmwater fisherman for a lot longer than I've been a flyfisher, and I have some ideas about how to cook up fly-rod versions of my favorite soft plastic lures (using...

I read [url=http://www.onlineflytyer.com/article_foamfrogs.asp:d3c0c]article[/url:d3c0c] recently, and just a day or two ago actually came across some of these little frogs being sold at a local...

Pflueger's LA reel is the President. The MA reels are just as bad though - Pflueger's Trion, Redington's CD, and Orvis' Battenkill MA spools are all interchangeable. From the looks of it, I wouldn't...

With what heads? just wondering.

Nathan

I've been working on this for a while - the list up top is pretty much what I've settled on. I do have a question about TCO, though: I looked at their website, and a)they offer the shooting line, but...
