NEW!!! BT's Double Magic Dubbing!Supports the LaFontaine fly-tying technique!!!

Vise Clearance Sale
only ONE left!

We are cleaning out our tying room. No we are not getting rid of everything but we have much more than we need to the point of almost being overwhelmed. For example, we have more than 60 fly-tying vises many that we will part with for a resonable price - just ask! Listed below is one of two such vises. They were the ONLY TWO like them in the world. We had the good folks at Dyna-King custom build them for us when we were searching for the perfect vise. We eventually found the perfect vise but before we could bring it on the market another vise company filed a law suit to stop us. Today Dyna-King's Ultimate Indexer is very similar to our vision of the perfect vise. We'll be selling one of the Ultimate Indexers in the next few weeks but for now we are offering the last onepictured here.

Better Understand Double Rotation - YouTube Information Below!

The above vise has the capacity of double rotation. This means the vise can rotate the hook in-line like many vises on the market today. ALSO it is possible to rotate just the jaws to easily reposition the fly to perform different tying functions like evenly dividing hair wings on a Royal Wulff. NOTE: Our perfect vise also had a joint built into the junction between the jaws and another between the stem and vise head. THESE TWO DO NOT have the joint mentioned in the last sentence (that's what caused the law suit in the first place). ALSO NOTE: The above vises are gently used. You get everything you see but somewhere through the years we've misplaced the Centering Gages for the vises (we just never used them and they eventually disappeared).
This vise has a material keeper that was a prototype we tested for Dyna-King that didn't make it to the market. You can have it for $400.00 and we'll pay the shipping (in the USA only). Our contact information is below: The vises we've posted in the last few weeks sold very fast so don't delay making your call.

We are the ONLY source on the Net!

We were very pleased to count Gary as one of our many friends. We worked on several projects together including a series of videos we produced under his direction. He even asked us to refine our BT’s Dubbing Wax and we developed the  Super Tacky formula for him. We were honored when he asked us to publish his last flies; it was his final request of us. Here is LaFontaine’s Legacy a book of the last patterns from the master of fly-tying innovation, Gary LaFontaine.

After using inline rotary vises for a number of years it finally became quite clear that almost all tiers who owned such a vise really didn’t understand what this awesome tool could do. So we decided to do something about it. First there was the DVD, Rotary Tying Techniques. Several years later we finished the book, Rotary Fly-Tying Techniques.

Danvise Product Review: We were really pleased with the review the good people did on the vise at flyguys.net. They are located in the interior of Canada's beautiful British Columbia where they are fortunate to be surrounded by hundreds of trout filled lakes, multi-species river systems, mountain fed creeks and the Pacific Ocean. They use our Danvise to tie many of the flies that are associated with their website. Check out the review here.

DANVISE and EXTENSION ARM: The Danvise is a product our company distributes for a manufacturer located in Denmark. It is a reasonably priced, inline rotary vise. We’ve used it for years as part of our commercial tying business and it has served us well. We also are the ONLY source in the US for the Extension Arm that is also resonably priced. It's important to install the Extension Arm correctly. Click here for those instructions.
