[VFB] re: vise ID
I must have missed Hans' post. Pragliola is an interesting character. Teaches (taught?) casting with short rods and high line speed (a la Wulff). Watched him repeatably cast a fly under a closed door with about an inch clearance - something to see. His school is (was?) in central Italy. cheers Paul Date: Fri, Oct 31 2008 8:17 am From: Niclas Runarsson A couple of guys here in Sweden had pin-on-reels with the same logotype and remembered the brand. The winner is... HANS WEILENMANN... with 'ROBERTO PRAGLIOLA'!!! Just a hunch can very well be enough. /Nick -- Paul Marriner Outdoor Writing Photography. Owner: Gale's End Press. Member: OWAA OWC.

Nick, the one that I have, I bought at a fly swap many years ago. However, you can make one yourself using a tongue blade and a spring type clothespin glued to it. It can then be clamped to the front edge of your bench under the c-clamp. I have made several and have encouraged those in my fly tying classes to make one. It comes in handy for holding a hackle that is being used for tails.

[VFB] Re: Vise ID
Partway down the trail. This is clearly a Regal knock-off of some description. A backward a and an upside down and backwards R is an intriguing, if somewhat discombobulated, logo. cheers, Paul -- Paul Marriner Outdoor Writing Photography. Owner: Gale's End Press.

I'm guessing that Hans will know. Those letters look like they want to stand for AK Best, but that could just be a stab in the dark. --- On Thu, 10/30/08, Niclas Runarsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Niclas Runarsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [VFB] Vise ID...
