I got mine with the large saltwater jaws. Then i got the fine point jaws and i use them
Quite often. I wish i had the small inline rather than the salt water jaws. I love my vise,
But its not...
I was going to recommend the nit comb. Or perhaps a moustache comb. you could hit a cheap tool store for a small brass brush, looks kind of like a tooth brush only with brass bristles. That...
My daughter tied her first flies a year ago while she was still 7
Kids are sponges. Teach em young. They will thank uou later
This is an older clear line. Minimal use by me. It was on the spool unused for a while
But now its unspooled ready to be reloaded
Cheap is good in my book. I still have a cortland 444 10 wt in the box that i bought
At stoddards when they were closing the cutlery shop in boston . I just dont use my 10wt at all.
I stripped...
What color are the floating 5 & 7 wts?
Spool or the whole reel. Dont think concept 2 will fit. Looking to load a sinktip for streamers.

Looking for 6 wt floating line , would consider other offers as well.

What hooks are you tying these on? Can you post some pics? I would love to see them.
Has anyone tried this? I had corks kicking around on my tying bench
sorry i cant post pics. But hopefully when i have some done.
I had one also, well built and great warrantee, only cons was no jaw adaptability if you
wanted to go really big or really small. But overall for the price you cant beat it if
You stay 3/0-20 ...
I have had two over the years. Both with c clamps. Rock solid
Jaws for what i was tying. Sold one and traded the other. Never any trouble
with mine. Only reason i sold mine was i wanted true...
