Semperfli Lever Vise - A true Rotary Vice

Semperfli Lever Rotary Vice We wanted a fly vice that was quicker to use at shows and exhibitions and there is no doubt that lever vices are in-vogue and far easier to use. With a simple flick of the lever our hook is in the vice. The Semperfli team worked with their manufacturer to develop this super lever vice with solid metal knobs and a rapid lever to clamp the hooks. As a true rotary the fly tying vise allows us to rotate our flies and work top and bottom as required. hardened stainless steel vice head suitable for large to micro hooks size 24!

So what is a tapered leader? It is a specially designed leader with a long and heavy butt for turnover power and a supple front taper for delicate presentation. A tapered leader is just tat a leader that tapers to a fine point! The thickness at the front of the leader varies according to the tippet diameter giving different strengths of line, with delicate 7X tapered leaders having tippets as small as 1.8lb and 0x with larger tippets of 10.5lb. These tapered leaders are an excellent choice for fishing with small and mid-sized flies on spooky fish and ideal for even underhand casting.
