Spartan Vise

I particularly like placing the vise head horizontal for tying streamers and bucktails- opens up clearance on all sides of the hook for long materials. Expensive, but it will last several lifetimes if taken care of.

Have been tying flies for over fifty years. 41,of my tying years have been with an HMH Spartan vise purchased in 1982. This vise has been flawless - the quailty is superb. I'd buy another Spartan or the Standard vise immediately if this Spartan ever wore out. But, that isn't going to happen because the design and build quality is that good!

I'm new to tying and spent a lot of time reviewing vise options. This really seemed to hit the sweet spot of everything I wanted in a vise – full rotary, high build quality, replaceable jaws - at a better price than what I felt were comparable vises. And it's definitely lived up to my expectations. Would buy again in a heartbeat.
