Prestige Fly Tying Vices
Quality vices for everyone from newcomers to fly-tying to advanced tiers.
Our Prestige Vice, sets new standards in quality, function and value for money!
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
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
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 collection of fly selections largely designed and compiled from popular modern day patterns by our own Simon Kidd, in conjunction with World Fly Fishing Champion Iain Barr, plus some great saltwater and predator patterns from Russ Symons.
We have made sure to incorporate the very latest materials and colour options available, and have also covered more fly fishing applications than ever before. Each selection contains flies chosen for a wide variety of waters and tested by some of the top names in fly fishing. You can fish these patterns with complete confidence knowing that they both look good and will catch fish!
Uncomplicated, modern patterns in striking colours and designs
Stillwater Nymphs & Lures
For subsurface daphnia feeders and inquisitive but difficult or aggressive fish, we have added a range of small fritz selection flies to be used as deadly stimulator patterns. Finally there is a modern, generic Stillwater selection, consisting of a small range from some of the above, for a carded selection…. never to leave home without! Most of the Stillwater patterns are un-weighted but some have added weight for optimum movement and depth control. These possess that magic, extra appeal which fish cannot resist. In summary, twenty three faithful and reliable selections of flies that one dare not venture fl y fishing without!

These are a simple, select range of the most popular traditional sea trout patterns plus a modern card containing stinger trebles on wake flies, which when testing, accounted for some great fishing and all with a unique habit of going savagely ‘bump’ in the night! Finally, there is a small card of Popular Bass Deceiver patterns for prospecting off the shore for that most illustrious of saltwater predators.

Saltwater / Predator Selections
Our Saltwater/Predator selections offer the destination fisher and those ‘fishing the salt’ nearer to home a great range of patterns to tempt any predatory fish from bonefish and tarpon to hard fighting bass and pollack. Be ready to ‘hang-on’ though as our predator patterns, tied from traditional and modern synthetics for light casting, might just be about to catch a toothy critter more than you bargained for! Also included is a mixed selection containing some mobile and light casting pike flies plus a full ‘weed less’ card, for that stealthy presentation amongst the snags.

Snowbee Fly Floatant and Tippet & Fly Sinkant
SST-F/S Snowbee Fly Floatant & Tippet Sinkant
Two novel products providing everything a fly fisher could need. Our new fly 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 keep dries floating high.
Our new Tippet Sinkant breaks the surface tension and allows even the lightest leader tippets to cut quickly through the surface film. Equally effective on sub-surface flies to get them down fast.
