Prestige Fly Tying Vices
Our Prestige vice sets new standards in quality, function and value for money!
Prestige Vices
CNC machined from 6061 grade aircraft aluminium, the in-line 360° rotating head allows for easy fly inspection and trimming. This facility can be locked, by means of the main head screw.
The high-carbon steel jaws are hardened to Rockwell C 58-60 and can hold any size of hook firmly, right up to size 6/0 saltwater hooks. Operated by a simple ‘one-operation’ cam-lever, for quick, easy hook placement. The ‘tilt’ angle of the head is fully adjustable and a material spring is supplied as standard. Available in both a Clamp and Pedestal version, with either base available separately as an optional extra. Supplied in a neat, zip-up case, with elasticated straps for all the components, plus tools in the lid and there is room for both bases, should you choose to buy both.
The in-line rotating head allows for easy fly inspection and trimming on the 19068 & 19069 models above
Comes complete with... a zip-up case, with elasticated Our new Prestige Vice, sets new straps for all the components
All vices come with a purpose designed carrying bag, allen key adjuster tools, full instructions and a 5 year manufacturer’s warranty. Replacement jaws are available separately.

19083 Sight Board and Bobbin Cradle
An ingenious double pivot and stem system supports both a sight board and bobbin cradle, allowing totally independent movement of each component. The sight board can be rotated around the vice jaws, allowing for left or right hand positioning, and the bobbin cradle through almost 360°, or can be folded away behind the head, when not required.
A unique cradle head features a traditional ‘V’ groove one end to drop a tying thread into, but also has a second groove fitted with 2 rubber ‘O’ rings. This allows thread to be locked in place, cut and dubbed, separate to the main bobbin thread.

Fly-Mate Fly Tying Vices
Quality vices for everyone from newcomers to fly-tying to advanced tiers.
Fly-Mate Vices
The Danish design of this premium range of Fly Tying Vices is second-to-none, representing excellent value for money when you compare the quality and features with other vices on the market. Superbly engineered from high quality steel and aircraft aluminium, the jaws are made from specially hardened, high alloy tool steel.
The Fly-Mate Vices feature a rotational facility which, combined with the cranked jaws shaft, ensures that, when rotated, the shank of the hook turns around its own axis.
Parallel clamping of the hook, by means of the 2 jaw clamp screws, ensures secure grip of any hook size from #24 to 8/0. The jaws come with a 5 year warranty.

Optional extra for Fly- mate Vices
Available in desk Clamp style or Pedestal models, an optional extra is a patented ball joint on the vice shaft. This gives movement in all planes, which coupled with the 360° rotation facility allows viewing of the fly from all angles during tying. This facility can be particularly useful when tying very small dry flies or when using Epoxy resin for Buzzers or Saltwater flies. The ball joint allows unlimited movement, so the Epoxy can be accurately ‘run’ into the required shape, while it sets.

Fly Selections
A unique and exclusive choice of fly selections, largely designed and compiled from the most popular modern day patterns by our own Simon Kidd, in conjunction with World Fly Fishing Champion Iain Barr, plus a couple of traditional fresh and saltwater patterns from Russ Symons.
Throughout the range we have incorporated the very latest materials and colour options available today and also covered more fly fishing applications than ever before, including a superb new range of classic barbless flies. Each selection contains flies chosen exclusively for a wide variety of waters and tested by some of the top anglers in fly fishing.
You can fish these patterns with complete confidence knowing that they both look good and will catch fish!

Stillwater Nymphs & Lures
Stillwater Nymphs and Lures
These flies range from the natural style, with optimum presentation in mind, to the extremely simple and wildly successful modern and often simple flies of today. Plenty of choice for large and small stillwaters, with some great, ‘must-have’ patterns for the new season.
Who wouldn’t be without a lethal snake pattern today, where permitted, plus a great additional choice of Electric Damsels and the best of weighted, mobile marabou lures? Whether nymph and lure fishing, early season buzzer, or highly visual dries, there are plenty of magnificent ‘7’s to choose from. For floating or subsurface there are lots of thoroughly effective patterns and all on only the best of hooks either Barbed or Barbless, as listed. For a choice of flies never to leave home without, you need look no further! Most of the Stillwater patterns are un-weighted but some have added weight for optimum movement and depth control but all possess that extra ‘X Factor’ to bring success when delivered properly.

These selections offer a range of popular designs in a choice of effective patterns, in a mix of drab and striking effective colours to stimulate the wiliest of big, wild fish. The salmon singles are tied on a selection of traditional black and modern nickel silver hooks. The sea trout patterns need no introduction being simple, popular traditional patterns with a card containing stinger and wake flies, which, when testing, accounted for some great fishing and all have a unique habit of going savagely ‘bump’ in the night!

Snowbee Fly Floatant and Tippet & Fly Sinkant
SST-F/S Snowbee Fly Floatant & Tippet Sinkant
Two novel products providing everything a fly fisher could ask for. Our new floatant is based on an old favourite formula, with a few modern ‘tweaks’, to produce what is undoubtedly the best fly floatant, we have ever used! A single application prevents hackles getting waterlogged and keeps dries floating high, all session through. The fly/tippet sinkant helps break through the surface tension and allows even the lightest leader tippets to cut quickly through the surface film. Equally effective on sub-surface flies to help get them down fast.
