The Renzetti Traveler 2200 Series Vise continues the tradition of innovation and quality that has defined the Renzetti name for decades. Designed for fly tyers who demand precision and flexibility, this vise delivers professional-grade functionality at a price point accessible to dedicated hobbyists and seasoned tiers alike.
At the heart of the Traveler 2200 is its true rotary design, a hallmark of the Renzetti vise line. The vise allows your hook to rotate 360 degrees on its axis, enabling efficient, uniform tying. Whether you're spinning a slim thread body on a midge, palmering hackle or winding in a dubbing brush, the rotary action ensures smooth, consistent wraps from start to finish.
Features of the Renzetti Traveler Vise
The versatility of the Traveler 2200 is unmatched in its class. It accommodates a wide range of hook sizes—from midges to larger hooks suited for saltwater species like bonefish, peacock bass, or tarpon. This makes it an excellent all-around choice for tyers who enjoy both freshwater and saltwater fly fishing. If your fly box includes everything from foam-bodied hoppers and fur-bodied nymphs to flashy tinsel streamers and wire-ribbed salmon patterns, this vise will meet your needs.
Durability is central to the Renzetti Traveler 2200's appeal. Constructed with anodized aluminum and stainless steel, the vise is designed to stand up to years of daily use. The anodizing process enhances corrosion resistance and adds a clean, professional look that complements any fly tying bench. Interested in a full black anodized look? Check out the Traveler 2300.
You'll find thoughtful touches throughout the design of the Traveler 2200 cam vise. The adjustable bobbin cradle helps manage thread tension and positioning, while the smooth operation of the rotary screw, jaw adjustments, and cam lock allows you to secure hooks confidently. The heavy pedestal base provides stability when you're spinning hair or applying pressure to tie down thick materials like deer hair or yarn, while the C-clamp option is ideal for tyers with limited desk space.
Available in both right- and left-handed models, the Traveler 2200 ensures ergonomic comfort no matter your dominant hand. That accommodation reflects Renzetti’s commitment to making fly tying accessible and enjoyable for every angler.
The compact design also makes this vise a great option for traveling tyers. Whether you’re headed to a boat trip for carp on the flats, gearing up at a lodge for trout season, or just tying a few terrestrials in your waders beside the river, the Traveler 2200 c-clamp version packs easily into your gear bag.
