How To Set Up Fly Tying Vice - Stonfo Morsetto Flytec Leva - Review

Hi, welcome back to my channel - nice that you turned in today. I’ve got something really exciting to show you. As some of you who are following my channel might know, I got into flyfishing last fishing season. I really enjoyed it. So I thought to myself how do I get into this hobby even more? The next step was getting a fly tying vise - which I’m going to show you in the video. It’s going to be a mix out of a review and set up. I am really so excited about tying flies, and for everybody who is interested subscribe to my channel because there’s gonna be a lot of new content in which you can follow my progress. Maybe even helps you and makes starting off not such a lonely experience. So see you next time 🤩.
Cheers Christian Casts 🎣

Cool vice, nicely made and works well. I've had mine for 3 years. Here's a tip you may find useful. My only qualm was I would have preferred a heavier base with a larger footprint. I now use the clamp to secure the front of the vice base to the edge of the table. Holds secure, especially for those big saltwater or game changer flies where I really need to sinch down. I also secured the material spring together with a bit of UV gel to stop it from coming apart.

Thanks for the tips. Did you get a clamp with the vice? Or are you using a normal one from the hardware store? As you most probably know out of the video I am just getting into fly tying. Would you have any flies which you would recommend to practice tying as a beginner? I am actually thinking about making a wooden transport box for my whole set up which holds all my fly tying equipment.

@@christiancasts hi, I got the clamp with the vice but I guess you could use a clamp from a hardware store, just put a little felt cushion between the contact area of vise and clamp. I think nymph patterns are a good start as they make you consider proportions. Woolly buggers for hackle palmering. Yes, a transport box is a great idea. I don't have anything as grand but use a simple material case I got with another vise and a big dollar store plastic box for materials when I travel. For permanent storage I use plastic stack drawers, big zip lock bags, small zip locks and even smaller ones ...like categories and sub categories.
lastly a big coin tin to chuck change in so my next material purchase isn't so painful :)

@@rodinhand Hi, I just had a look and all three jaws are completely flat 🤗. I’m not too sure if you could get different jaws with grooves hope I could help 👍🏻.

@@rodinhand No worries 👍🏻 Thanks to you too and let’s hope for a great fishing season 😉

You missed out the main point of the vice which is how well it holds a hook

[@christiancasts]

Yes, you are really right, the hooks are held very well. Have you had experience with wear on the vice clamps?
