    Default Hook Clearance on a Vise

    Someone, perhaps Hans, mentioned how important hook clearance is in a fly tying vise.
    I could not agree more. I own a few vises in which applying tailing material is not very comfortable due to not having good tail clearance.

    Here are are photos of a few rotary vises I have or have had. I find the clearance afforded by the Matthias vise to be, perhaps, the best. Although, I tie almost exclusively on the Jvice. I think the "gooseneck" design offers great clearance when tying in rotary mode.

    First the LAW - most beautifully sculptured vise I owned - (wish I had kept it!)




    Then, the Jvice: Which I think offers more clearance.




    Then the Matthias Vise: Which, I think offers the most of the three in terms of hook clearance when in rotary position.
