    Default The Mayflyer

    Anyone have this vise. It is rather unique. Has a base of bronze and was billed as one you could tie on the stream with. Has a strap to hang it from your neck and the base would rest against your chest....not that I would want to use it on the stream.....just part of the maker's claims.

    Anyway, I am not sure of the material of the jaws. It almost looks like copper, but I don't believe it is copper.

    Wonder if any of you might know?

    20 minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains N.P. and lots of cool water fishing.

    Nice vise. The jaws look bronze to me.

    im not a metalurgist, but my guess would brass, i think copper would be to soft and the jaws would crack after very little use

    They aren't brass or bronze. Might try a close-up pic. Nobody have one of these?
