The rotary action was very stiff and ‘clunky’ and I had to dismantle it to ensure I lubrricated it well, a few drops in the recommended holes did not seem to help. Rotary action was fine following. Having a problem adjusting the ball head but will have another try. Please note my surname is Tucker. I will be searching your site for other items to fulfill my inventory,because of returning to UK from many years in Canada I had to sell off my fly tying equipment,it was too expensive to send it h.

Still have not used this (just received it), but having set it up it looks good and fit for purpose for my needs. Looks a robust product, well engineered.

Quality vice. But fiddly to set up, but once sorted it's a good piece of kit.

Slight fault with a screw thread, resolved by Troutcatchers within 2 Hours, good value for money tying vice, would recommend.

Vice is very study, reasonably easy to set up. Looking forward to tying some flies on using the 360 option. Old vice never had these facilities, very basic.

There is another review on here which appears a little harsh. Only 1 star awarded, however there is an element I agree with, and that is that the rotary mechanism seems inadequate. I like the vice; it is small and quite easy to work with, until you want to use the rotary feature exclusively - such as when using resins, where I find it preferable to be freely and smoothly rotating during material build up but lacking when I want to lock it for head finishing etc. Nice vice overall, quite pleased.

Excellent once assembled and lubricated Assembly advice had to be sought from Troutcatchers because the instructions were an old version in a confusing translation.

The ball joint on this version of the vice initially caused me concern but having spoken with Nick at Troutcatchers I realised what I was doing wrong and I am now completely satisfied. I have been astonished at the care and concern shown by Troutcatchers during my shopping experience and would thoroughly recommend them to anyone. There are some things you just cannot put a price. Thanks again to Troutcatchers!

Fly tying vice Great vice, easy to use and a fantasic price. Prefer the pedestal model rather than desk clamp, means I can place the vice where I want it rather than where the clamp can go. .

Good Pleased with my purchase certainly better than I have used in the past. My only concern is the Ball Joint, it slips. I have made it very tight in hope it will solve this problem. Other than that - great. .

Good value Jaws are good but floppy and out of line when putting hook in, but fine when tight. Rotation is ok but jaw needs to be offset to bring shank in line with axis,re-aligning is required for hook sizes. rotating faces rely on rubber rings for grip, dished washers would improve,I''m looking to modify. Troutcatcher Reply. Thank you for your constructive comments (and 4 stars) we will pass them on to Snowbee - Good luck with the tying.

Good for the price when compared to more expensive vices Good for the price when compared to more expensive vices, but cheaper ones have better jaw alignment system. Well engineered but I have already modified the jaw mounting and positioning screws. TROUTCATCHER REPLY: Many thanks for feedback - we will pass on to Snowbee. Dont forget the jaws come with a 5 year warranty.
