Good news........Misako and i were signed up for the new Wasatch Fly Tying
Tools/Jay Vise Pro Team while were in Washington State doing the FFF Washington
State Fly Fishing Fair (Council Conclave) and i have some news to report bout
the Jay Vise.
First, as you know, the "PERFECT" vise has yet to be made. For instance, not
even the Law Vise can do what my Dingo vise can do. Which is, as an example,
rotate horizontally as well as vertically.........so far the Dingo is the ONLY
vise which has the horizontally rotaing head asembly. That is the Jaws,
(independantly), rotate in a 360 degree circle, on a flat plane as well as an
up and down plane. But the Dingo has other "issues" which also put it in the
"Not-so-perfect" catagory as far as i'm concerned.....little things like the
fact that it doesn't hold hooks worth a crap, and the fact that the jaws don't
open wide enough for them to hold anything over bout a size 3/0 hook.
Well, i think we will very soon have, "FINALLY" THE Perfect Vise available for
fly tyers. Mr. Jay Smidt of South Africa, who is the inventor and manufacture
of the Jay Vise, (imported, and distributed exclusively in the U.S. to fly
shops, by Wasatch Fly Tying Tool Company) will be sending me the very first
horizontally rotating (the Jaws themselves independantly) Jay Vise. Misako and
i have been tying exclusively on the Jay Vise at shows for 4/5 years now and i
have been working with Mr. Smidt on perfecting the Jaws........and he has
already got them to where they will hold (EXTREMELY TIGHT.....immoveable) hooks
up to 20/0, with a Midge set that will do the same with as small as size 32.
The vise allows for MAXIMUM hand room, holds hooks of EVERY size EXTREMELY
well, will soon rotate in both directions, and even comes with a pedastal base
that has a hole in the front of it that allows for C-clamp connection to the
table so you have the best of both worlds in one set-up, C-clamp included. Jay
has been sending me the newsest upgrades to the Jaws over time and each has
gotten better than the last. He has also sent me the new up grade to the crank
(rotary handle) which is smoother than the original. The base pedastal also
comes with many drilled holes for your tools, brass cups (inserted), for hooks
and beads, and a center tray for more of the same. And a longer than standard
stem can also be ordered for those (like me) who prefere to work higher up.
I've got it and i LOVE it.
I'm not being paid (other than free vises and tools) for this.....but for my
money, the Jay vise is now THE unbeatable vise on the planet. It simply has no
flaws. By the way, it also comes with a metal bar that can be "DEAD Centered"
so as to allow for ABSOLUTELY DEAD TRUE Rotary adjustment no matter what the
size of the hook(s). A MUST for commercial tyers who change hook size
constantly, yet want to keep things DEAD TRUE consistantly. The vise also comes
in a variety of colors......nice touch. And just wait'll you see the stem
tighning screw, and other embelishments. Good news all the way around.
