Tiemco TMC Solid Vise


Tiemco TMC Solid Vise Silver Heavy Duty (HD)
Used for my travel fly tying kit.

Testing several tying vises in the past four years, including cheap, noname, medium and high quality products, I can confirm, that quality is not price-dependable at all.
Found good items for acceptable price and low quality for horror price.

This vise can be considered as a very good quality-price compromise.
First of all we examined the steel quality, perfect tool material, like the Petitjean's one.
Japanese steel, japanese quality.

Homage à Marc Petitjean tools

I would like to present my favourite fly tying vise. Some years before, with little after I started fly tying, I decided to obtain a good vise.
Friends, acquaintances showed their tool kit, I obtained some from chance purchase, finally one of my friends offered his Petitjean vise to try it and let me decide after.
I heard about this vise, I knew it already from several pictures, but it appeared expensive.

I noticed that I am involved in top quality promptly as I took it in my hand. Yet before altogether fly I would have been tying with it, it has been thoroughly examined.

Camera Holder


If we would like to take flytying pictures, snapshots or movies from a fixed position, facilitates the subsequent works very much, if the camera is fixed firmly in place raporting to the fly (or to the vise).

A camera holder was made ready based on Mr. Paskay’s (MCI) idea and can be fixed to the vertical rack pole of the vise.

Basic Flytying Travel Kit

Many people believes, that for tying efficient flies we need only some basic materials. This is so presumably, but one of the most interesting occupations of the flyfishing - according to me – is flytying, what is distinguished hobby on wintertime and the case of very grim weather as well.

 
If we leave to lead to angle somewhere it’s recommended to carry with ourselves a basic fly tying kit, which everybody compiles according to his own idea.
